practical problems 

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

Practica Musica 

An evil computer program made by satin that attempts to teach musically gifted students (who may or may not have any interest in becoming a musician) music theory. With exercises ranging from cord progression to speed intervals, one will be left exasperated. When you get one answer correct you get one point, but when you answer one of the questions incorrectly you lose everything... including your self esteem. Those who passed an exercise either cheated off a friend or had weeties for breakfast. Those who pass the entire course are complete losers and deserve to be shunned from society.

Side effects include: hurty headaches, frustration, humiliation, an obscure feeling of wanting to kick babies
Music student A: Hey wanna work on practica musica during a free period?
Music student B: go fuck yourself

What would you do if someone called you saying they were Barack Obama? Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen got a call just like that the other day and like many people would, she assumed it was a radio station practical joke.
