Today’s Engineering Thinking Extra Is A Short Review Of A Fun Topic
It’s been pretty well established that laughter — even smiling — significantly enhances one’s health. Therefore, if you’re not aware of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (“a whimsical literary competition that challenges entrants to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels”), now’s your chance to enhance your immune system.

If you think you can write more wretchedly, you’re welcome to enter the contest. It’s easy; check here for details.
