WHAT IS IT about 'engineers have hairy ears'? When I wrote that post about three years ago (June 2008), it was a bit of personal curiousity. Since then I've noticed an occasional outburst of activity around it -- usually 2-3 hits at a time -- but today my 'engineers have hairy ears' post has had close to 60 hits already.

What did I do right? Or wrong, as the case might be?
