A research breakthrough: http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/people/rys/valley/valley.php
When Jim graduated:
Promised:
laura will dye her hair pink
eakta will jump around NSH on one foot yelling "whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo!" ("and may also die her hair pink" <-- subversive elements are responsible for this bit, says Eakta.)
adrien will bake a great pink cake which will be place on Jim's chair, and which will remain forever, untouched in memory of Jim
jessica will clean her office
Delivered:
laura: pink hair
eakta: pink hair and woohooing
adrien: me still want that cake!!
jessica: how about we try this one again for Ronit's graduation?
