My best friend invented a nitrous carbed "water pipe". He would make a killing if marijuana was legalized.

Not an engineer though. He happens to be a surveyor.

Based on experience in college, I'd have to say chemical engineers. I've never met one who can be described as sane.

In my workplace we only have mechanical, materials, electrical, and software engineers. Based on that pool, I'd have to call our small materials engineering crew the kooky ones. I do a lot of work in the materials lab and the kid who's the "lab supervisor" is a true mad scientist. Every time I go down there he's either playing with the SEM or experimenting on something else under the fume hood.

 
At the power plants, the nuclear engineers win this one. We had a guy back in the bad old days that liked to pour lighter fluid on his desk and strike a match to it. As far as I ever heard, he wasn't fired, he just stopped coming to work one day.
