Strange Dreams

[bjarvis]

Last night, I had a dream that I was working on a graduate degree (again) of some flavor.

For one of the routine weekly lab reports, I had to obtain and detonate 12-15 five megaton nuclear warheads approximately 5 km below the surface of the earth, then use purchased time on a world-wide siesmic network to obtain the echo data with which I was to create a suitable mathematical model to map the interior of the planet.

My report --handed in ahead of schedule, naturally-- showed a solid metal core at the center and mapped a number of interesting large magma flows and eddies, all nicely demonstrated via a 3D holographic representation.

Alas, I woke up before my report was graded.

This probably speaks volumes about my fear of project scope creep.

Wow. You left out the "u" in "flavour." :-P

But was the report in a gorgeous typeface and did the graphs use gorgeous colours? And did you include a $25 Starbucks card in the report, free to the grader?

Having to bribe a TA in my own dream... wow, that would suck! :-)
