It isn't ME who said I design furnaces. Someone else the other day said they does that. And I actually thought that was neat, as I have never known anyone in my life that can explain to me where everything in this world comes from. Who's designing everything? I watch that tv show called "How It's Made", and I talk at the tv set saying, "Oh come on! Who could have come up with that? How could they even lay that out on paper?. If you take all the straight A students and have them all commit to this line of work, there would not be enough people!" In fact, last night I watched that show. Pretty nifty how they make 55 gallon drums, glass blocks, police whistles, and ....

I know doctors, lawyers, store clerks, factory workers, other workers, etc., but never have met the people who actually design the stuff. It is like it just appears here on Earth as manna from heaven. There are like more products, that require sophisticated engineering, than there are people alive! Even the machine systems needed to make the machines are ridiculously clever. Go figure!
