Amusing story:
In my senior year at NC State, I had to do a poster presentation on a statistics-related project of my choice. I was into sports economics, so I developed a model to help basketball coaches decide how long to bench a player in foul trouble. (Shockingly, coaches around the country remain oblivious to the model's brilliance.) But the model was not the best thing about the project; the best thing was the poster. Instead of being some generic Powerpoint layout, the background was a photo of Rasheed Wallace with his mouth wide open and teeth glaring, hands extended with palms facing upward, leaning down so that he was flush in the grill of a referee. I admit it did not help with readability, but I maintain that I had the coolest poster at the event. Somehow, though, my poster did not win any awards. Honestly, I think the judge might have decided to skip my poster as soon as she laid eyes on it. I'm not bitter.
