Rock Climbing @ Grand River Rocks - Weekly
A bunch of us rock climb at the new Kitchener gym called Grand River Rocks. Whenever we go we will update the CES calendar (located on the  main page) with the time we will be there. If you want to come out and learn how to climb let us know, or just show up! If you have any questions you can contact either myself or Ian Hillier.

RUBE GOLDBERG
It’s almost that time of the year! National Engineering Month is coming up and we have been given the special task of constructing 2 Rube Goldberg machines. One will be made at Conestoga and the other will be the main attraction at the CN Tower! We are going to need people at the CN Tower the night of the event so whoever puts in the most work will be going. We are looking to bring ~5 people. If you’re interested in helping out with either, please email VPI_CES@conestogac.on.ca

Society Stuff

There will be a meeting this Thursday in A2230 at noon. All are welcome to attend!

We have been given permission to “renovate” the CES room, if anyone has any old furniture (couches, a fridge, etc) they don’t need, let us know! Our hope is the office will soon become the perfect chill zone for all to enjoy!

Weekly Joke:

ENGINEERS & GUILLOTINES

Today they’re leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to the guillotine. They ask the priest if he wants to face up or down when he meets his fate. The priest says that he would like to face up so he will be looking toward heaven when he dies. They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it, it comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the priest.

Next the drunkard comes to the guillotine. He also decides to die face up hoping that he will be as fortunate as the priest. They raise the blade of the guillotine, release it, it comes speeding down and suddenly stops just inches from his neck. So they release the drunkard as well.

The engineer is next. He too decides to die facing up. They slowly raise the blade of the guillotine, when suddenly the engineer says:  “Hey, I see what your problem is…”

Weekly Joke:

An architect, an artist and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with the wife or a mistress. The architect said he enjoyed time with his wife, building a solid foundation for an enduring relationship. The artist said he enjoyed time with his mistress, because of the passion and mystery he found there. The engineer said, “I like both.” “Both?” Engineer: “Yeah. If you have a wife and a mistress, they will each assume you are spending time with the other woman, and you can go to the lab and get some work done.”

NEM Rube Goldberg – All of March

This year as a result of having the best machine last year, ESSCO has asked us to build the CN tower machine. It is expected that this machine be more visually appealing, interesting, and reliable (properly designed and not thrown together with garbage). The machine is to be ready for March 8th where it will be tested live (unlike any other machine). If you would like to help, please sign up through the following link http://conestogaengsoc.ca/2012/01/30/nem-rube-goldberg-machine/. More details will be given to those who sign up.

Bowling at Dickson Bowl – 61 Ainslie St. S Cambridge
Last year the Society purchased two Groupon’s for bowling – They expire February 10th so that means we need to go bowling!

First 10 people to signup get in free for 2 hours of bowling with free pizza! Anyone else will have to pay for their own entrance, but it’s relatively cheap anyways.

We will be going Tuesday February 7th at 7PM. Hope to see you all there!
