Mark,
Haven't you seen the Holiday Inn Express commercials?  They have someone 
talk about/do something that sounds very educated (like they are a 
professional in that particular field), and then someone asks, "Are you a 
doctor/engineer, etc.?"  Of course, the person responds, "No, but I stayed 
in a Holiday Inn Express last night."  Then the announcer says, "Will 
staying at a Holiday Inn make you smarter? Nah, but you'll feel smarter."  I 
am definately not a mechanical engineer.  It was just a joke.
