The irony is that, when I was younger I used to tell
certain people, "Never mess with an engineer!" When asked why, I simply replied, "They can do almost anything."

I remember a story on a BBS back in 1988 where a student was always being called a
nerd and was constantly bullied by the Jocks in the school. At that time, the school stored the student grades on a computer system. The nerd hacked into the PC and changed the grades for the bullies causing them to fail that school year. I don't know if they ever got it sorted (I have to assume they did), however, upon being told they failed,
they became the objects of ridicule by their classmates, and that was apparently worth it to him.
Can you imagine what someone like that is capable of today? Be careful who you bully. They may be physically weak, but capable of things that could seriously affect your life.

I know that feeling ALL TOO WELL..... got bullied in school myself... Big ears, me not caring about name brand clothes or anything, my last name, pronounced same as some dumba$$ car dealer in Columbus. Can't stand that guy, always carried a acustic guitar, NOT once ever played it.... I might pick on a friend as a joke, never bully though, have 2 friends, that's just the way we are. One makes joke, other makes one back at some point, always joking, and we know it, never going to far, but I'd NEVER mean it, and I'd appologize to anyone I'd upset, so sorry if my joke offended. Though now I've thought of giving it back to bullies just to show them what it feels like, but that's it, nothing past that In this case, I'd say the bullies got what they deserved. Wish mine did.... K-12th, so needless to say I HATED school, and practically NO friends....

Oh I know. Sadly, ALL the people I call friends are out of state, minus 1, and he's still like a 2 hr drive from me.
