Hey look buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems.
Not problems like 'what is beauty?' Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
...I solve practical problems.
For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean motherhubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind?
The answer? Use a gun.
And if that don' work, Use MORE gun.
Like this heavy caliber tripod-mounted little ol' number designed by me...
...Built by me...
And you best hope...not pointed at YOU.
