Why I prefer to think of myself as a computer -scientist- :)

A guy wanted to know the volume of a red rubber ball.

First he took it to a mathematician, who measured its radius and used the formula V=4/3*pi*r^3 to find its volume.

Next, our guy went to a physicist, who immersed the ball in a bowl full of water. He then measured the amount of water which overflowed and calculated the volume of the ball.

Still not satisfied, our guytakes the ball to a mechanical engineer. The engineer says, "Wait a moment, I got this." He gets up and skims through the books laid out on his shelf. "Ah, this should do it.", he says and pulls out a big fat hard bound book titled - "The Mechanical Engineer's Handbook to Red Rubber Balls"
