discussing thesis topics.

Hey, it makes as much or more sense as some of the other projects that
are funded.

Sadly, I didn't get the joke sentence at the end of the article.

Hell, don't laugh, but there was once a funded project at one of the
service test pilot schools (I'm in fear of my life here if I divulge
too much :-) where the potential military use of the Frisbee was
studied. I recall the best of the best out there in the hangar one
Saturday afternoon throwing one around and jotting down copious and
serious notes :-)
Don't know whatever happened to the final white paper, but I believe
it's filed in there somewhere along with the one trying to decide if
a fly lands on the ceiling from a half loop or a half slow roll.
Believe it or not, I actually know the answer to this question. I'm
still working on Fermat's last theorem however!!! :-))))

Ok, Dudley, cough up the answer!

I'd love to, but the guys at Princeton might get on me a bit. Andrew
Wile solved it years ago. I'm just trying to figure out how the hell
he did it :-))

The answer is neither! I should have known.
