Everybody's heard at least one by now. What've you heard. We all know they are false, but it will be fun to discuss them and kill time while we wait for the real results.

Here's mine: If you look back over the last decade, the results waiting time has decreased. It has decreased by approximately 30 days (average and estimated... because the numbers change for each state obviously) during that time. So theoretically, the rate of reduction of wait time is equal to approximately 3 days per year. So, last year the wait time for my state was 42 days (I think), therefore this time, I can expect the wait time to be 39 days.

Ha! That's funny. Now here's the truth: The wait time was in fact about 30 days longer a decade ago and consistently was about 30 days longer up until about 4 to 5 years ago. At some point about 5 years ago, something occurred within NCEES or the state agencies which caused a sudden change in wait times, resulting in waiting duration being reduced by about 30 days. That new duration has now remained fairly consistent for the last 4-5 years. So, no, you should not anticipate the results approximately 3 days earlier.

Okay, what have you heard.

 
I heard that they will be combining the construction and structural discipline specific exams and will be adding an aerodynamics of planes on conveyors section.

 
I heard that the PCS has reorganized their system in an effort to streamline the validation process.

:pcs:

 
Pcs will increase the wait by three day. It's true

 
I hear that if you get a higher passing score than other people who took the exam, then you are simply a better engineer.

:eek:rlyflag:

I heard that stormwater design is the most difficult design field for any engineer.

 
I heard that an airplane can still take off from a moving treadmill. It's physics

 
I heard that if you carry your PE license pocket card around with you, you are entitled to whip it out at the bar to pick up chicks and lesser qualified dudes have to stand down.
I heard that if you also have a PMP certificate, you are allowed to charge others to touch your PE-ness. At least in certain areas of the country like Nevada...

I once used my PE license as an ID to enter a casino. I was hammered at the time, and the security guard didn't even blink...he just let me through. I didn't realize what I had shown him until the next morning when I found the license card in my pocket instead of my wallet.

 
How do rumors get started, they're started by the jealous people and
They get mad seein' somethin' they had and sombody else is holdin'
They tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
These wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think it's cute, but girl, I'm not impressed
I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose
That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be gay
I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way
Hear the one about Susan, some say she's just a tease
In a camisole she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to your knees

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger
I can't show my face cause when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
It seems from rumors I just can't get away
I bet there'll even be rumors floatin' around on Judgment Day
I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
For the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more

Saturday steppin' into the club
The music makes me wanna tell the DJ
Turn It Up
I feel the energy all around
And my body can't stop moving to the sound
But I can tell that you're watching me
And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
Well I just need a little space to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy
Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
I'm only having fun
I'm gonna live my life
(but not the way you want me to)
I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is
Here we are back up in the club
People taking pictures
Don't you think they get enough
I just wanna be all over the floor
And throw my hands up in the air to a beat like (What?)
I've gotta say respectfully
I would like it if you take the cameras off of me
'Cause I just want a little room to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy
Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
I'm only having fun
I'm gonna live my life
But not the way you want me to
I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is
I just need to free my mind (my mind)
Just wanna dance and have a good time (good time)
I'm tired of rumors (rumors)
Followed (followed, followed, followed, followed, followed)
What they (follow) me
Why can't they (they they they-they-they) let me live
Take this for just what it is
I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is
I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying

I know Maryland is no longer using PCS as PE administrator.
