Nickolay (sorry to mention him so much, but we've spent a lot of time together lately and everything seems to involve him this past week) told me this joke last night I thought was cute and that a few of you *might* enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, and computer engineer are in a car when it suddenly stops running.
The mechanical engineer says, "I know how to fix it. I'll just find the part that broke and fix it."
The electrical engineer says, "No, I know how to fix it. It's in the wiring!"
The computer engineer says, "Wait, wait, all we have to do is exit the vehicle and re-enter."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cheesy, yes, but still kinda cute. Or so I thought!

I'd heard a similar joke, except the car crashed, and the engineer wanted to pull the car apart to see where the problem was, the physicist wanted to model the conditions, and the computer scientist wanted to push the car to the top of the hill and see if it would do it again.

They have the one you posted and lots more.
A couple I didn't find on that site:
Floating In Air At The Bar
Two men sit at a bar. The first one just slowly sips at his drink, studying the other man at the far end of the bar. Finally, the first man makes up his mind, and walks up the the second man. He sits back down and continues nursing his drink. The second man, thinking nothing of it, continues his drinking in peace. After a while, the first man speaks up.
"This place is great, isn't it?" he asks. The second man, somewhat surprised at the stranger's remark, replies.
"Why do you say that?" The first man, in a low tone of voice, responds, "Follow me." The second man, well drawn up into this hush-hush secret attribute of the bar, follows. They stop at the large window at one end of the room.
"Here's why." The first man thows open the window, and boldly steps out into--nothing. But he remains aloft!
"The air currents are great here!" he exclaims. "It's very relaxing." As his feet return to the bar-room floor, he invites the second man to try it. The second man, somewhat questioningly, looks over the windowsill--down to the pavement twelve stories below. He looks to either side, and finally up above, to see if there was anything holding the first man up. Convinced that it was no trickery, the second man swollows, closes his eyes, and steps out into-- nothing. And promptly falls twelve stories to the pavement below.
The second man, with a slight grin on his face, gets his drink, returns to his original spot at the bar, and starts sipping again. Looking rather irritated, the barkeep comes over to the place where the man sits.
"You know," he says, disgusted. "You're a real jerk when you're drunk, Mr. Kent."
Bill Gates in Hell
Shortly after Bill Gates was killed in a freak accident, he found himself being sized up by Saint Peter. "Bill, this is a tough call. You've made great technological advancements with Microsoft, but you've also given us Windows 95. I think I'm going to let you choose between Heaven and Hell."
"That sounds fair," Gates replied. "May I have a look at hell first?"
And so first Saint Peter took him to Hell.
"This is hell? Wow, look at all those gorgeous women, the ones that laughed when I asked them out on dates in high school. And look at those mansions!" exclaimed Bill.
"And see all those coders? They work 24 hours a day for free just because they really love you, Bill, and live only to please you."
"Shazam, this is all virtual, isn't it, Saint Peter?"
"Yep. With no bugs, Bill."
"If this is hell, what can heaven be like?"
(Saint Peter makes sweeping gesture) "Like this!"
"People wearing robes and playing harps while they sit on clouds? What a boring cliche. I'll take Hell!" replies, Gates.
And so two weeks later, St Peter paid a little visit.
"Hey what the hell's going on? It's nearly 200 degrees and the air is terrible. There's no food or drink. Goblins jab me in the ribs constantly. I'm crawling with vermin and weak with disease. They play the Beastie Boys at all hours, for all eternity. There are NO COMPUTERS! Where are the women, the program slaves, the virtual wonders? Where is the splendid hell you promised me?" cries Gates.
"Oh that, that was just a demo..."

LOL! The line is pretty long at this point! So far I'm still promised to a Slashdotter first! But get in queue and your turn may come. ;)

That was enough to make me die laughing, but then it just got better!!
