While I remember...

Ever wondered what to do with all those pre-correction and revision, in progress bits of your thesis?*
Ever wanted to blow pages of (your) PhD thesis out of a cannon?

Finally got around to putting up the thesis destruction photos.

Sequence starts here
( And for direct viewing of a selection )

We did keep a smoky, partially burnt page as a souvenir. Forget where I put the scan of that.

*Please note that for the sake of not too much paper wastage, single sided pages were used as scrap paper and some was just straight recycled. But for those bits of cathartic destruction...

Just finished The Atrocity Archives (and The Concrete Jungle) by Charles Stross.
Definitely recommend it. The description of Lovecraft meets Dilbert is bang on but it is even better...
The author definitely has a way with words and an ability to put together sentenses that just work and stick in your brain. The Merchant Prince series wasn't bad, but after reading this one, I can understand basal_surge's addiction.

Want the next one - apparently it has been written at least... And I have already started rereading bits...
