Halfway through writing my NASA proposal today, I went back and added my name and title at the top of the paper.  Beneath that I wrote the department and school, which at Arizona State is the School of Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, and Materials Engineering.  My mind already numbed by academia and its unnecessary use of acronyms to describe everything (like WoW, but worse), I began thinking about the name... the department is already abreviated to MACME, which people pronounce mack-me.  But, when you're talking about the school, it becomes............ SMACME!  Get it??  Smack-me?  Ahahahahaha..........

Back to work.  Sigh.
