One for engineers

Einstein, Newton and Pascal are playing hide and seek. It's Einstein's turn to count, so he covers his eyes and starts counting to fifty. Pascal runs off and hides. Newton draws a one meter by one meter square on the ground in front of Einstein then stands in the middle of it.

Einstein reaches fifty and uncovers his eyes. He sees Newton immediately and exclaims "Newton! I found you! There you are!"

Newton smiles and says "You didn't find me You found Pascal!"

I will admit ..I had to google the "joke" ..but it is clever

I had a vague recollection about a Pascal - but I too had to Google it just to make sure........

I too had to Google it. For those like me that don't get it, I found this :-
The pascal (pronounced pass-KAL and abbreviated Pa) is the unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the scientist Blaise Pascal. One pascal is equivalent to one newton (1 N) of force applied over an area of one meter squared (1 m2). That is, 1 Pa = 1 N · m-2.
