Not that I'm aware of - the Order of the Engineer is a stainless steel pinky ring worn on your working hand. It's a ripoff of some canadian group, started in Ohio - Cleveland state, actually. Maybe you Clevelanders decided to take it to the next level.

Dr. Evil - a man of power, has a pinky ring. Doesn't he?

Also, an 's2000 ring'? Richard, *shaking head* its a car, and a college ring would be more 'timeless' than a car.

OK, I'll take your word for it, the ear ring I was refering to was supposedly for the Canadian "order", but not being an engineer, or a Canadian, I can only repete the rumor I hear, eh?

Canadian engineers don't wear EAR RINGS. They HEAR RINGING in their EARS. Too much booze in school.
