could it be true? a PhD Comics movie?

Check it out here: facebook event page or gss website event notice
----- original post follows---
Rumours have emerged on the PhD Comics facebook page that there will be a PhD Comics movie. !!!
Surely it is worth a travel grant to go participate (in California).
Not only that -- you could be an extra! Posted April 6th
But I thought that post docs were too invisible to show on film.

props to the undergrads
For this youth vote campaign.
I love this whole campaign, which I understand started with Leadnow responding to a Rick Mercer challenge to youth voters. (Hat tip to UVIC grads involved in starting Leadnow, like Jamie Biggar)
I knew, as well, that it was getting traction when my mom told me all about it over dinner! (She was thrilled!)
(Also fun for UVic folks to watch and see them run around a corner in Clerihue and arrive in the SUB foyer, haha!)
Vote May 2, everyone!!
Here is some more coverage

Thesis distraction gets local boost
The GSS maintains a list of thesis distractions. But this is a first ... a wonderful puzzle distraction designed by one of our own, Computer Science grad rep, Alejandro Erickson.
Check out tomoku puzzles .. a puzzle game based on lucky placement of Japanese tatami mats. Alejandro produced a little book of the puzzles as well as this online version.
I have the book and my son and I have risked being late for school when drawn into the puzzles over breakfast.
