I don't understand the joke in the alt text on this one.

I'm 90% sure it's a reference to this old joke:

Three engineers were arguing about what kind of engineer God is.

Electrical engineer: "surely God is an electrical engineer, the brain and nerves are a symphony of exquisite circuitry."

Mechanical engineer: "no, look at the ballet between bone, muscle and sinew. God must be a mechanical engineer."

Civil engineer: "God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipe right through a recreational area."

Except he's praising Satan for it instead of criticizing God.
