Which only confirms my suspicion, one I get every time I tackle a big problem in
povray,  that I couldda gotten a master's thesis out of this at some math, CS,
or architecture department somewhere on the planet.

Truly, the things they give out degrees for these days...
I only hope that when the time comes I'll be able to POV my way through it! 
;-D

Though I've never much liked homework, and usually just end up writing some 
program to do it for me whenever possible.

I actually got bored recently with art homework, and wrote a pretty cool 
CAPTCHA dll in C# that automatically resizes font according to number of 
characters specified and size of container, then I really started dicking 
around in GDI+, and found out it could draw some pretty slick abstracts. So 
I just commented the text block of the code, ran off a few bigguns, and got 
an A...hehehe...school....hehehe.

The thing has a *huge* number of options(draws many shapes/lines) and a 
decent number of overloads...I've got a lot turned off now. I might add some 
radios and dropdowns, and maybe a few text boxes to let people dick with it. 
Hmm...that reminds me...still need to add speech support..

Anyway, here it is if you care to check it out: (I've got it set to 800x800x 
png output, text on)
