bjarvisLast 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.
