As I have supplied the list of colleges, I now have a request:
I saw a list in, I believe, rec.humor entitled "101 things (not) to do at your Ph.D. defense." It was later updated to 129 things not to do.
If anyone has the list, could you please e-mail me the list? Hey, we could even start it again here:
Top Ten Thnigs Not to Do at Your Thesis Defense
10) Grovel in front of the committee. 9) Suck on your thumb and hold a blanket. 8) Shoot spitballs at professors who ask tough questions. 7) Have a friend in the back of the room flash cue cards. 6) Set yourself on fire. 5) Begin with, "And, now, live from New York, it's Saturday Afternoon Defense, with your host . . .: 4) Ritually disembowel yourself with the pointer when asked tough questions. 3) Highlight your main points with a Greek chorus. 2) Hire a bouncer to get rid of "unwanted" profs.
And the Number One act guaranteeing another year in grad school:
1) Melt your slides. Then eat them.
