Acknowledgements: Thanks to the organizers of ICAPS 2005 (Kanna, Karen and Susanne) for taking a chance on this zany event. Thanks to the six plaintive souls for baring all on stage (which, even with the beer swig, was a formidable task). Thanks to Sam Steel for keeping us on time. Thanks most of all to the audience at ICAPS who made it all worthwhile with their spirited participation.
