    I suggest you research the post-traumatic stress-related psychological disorders associated with being subjected to viewing this picture for a prolonged (say, more than 4 minutes) period.

      I am of an opposite opinion. I suggest you research the incurred trauma of subliminally watching this picture.

    I call oxshit. As any professor ought to know, a high impact project that takes about 6 man months of work for a relative rookie is not likely to be done in house by a group like that. For a really good project, you might divide the labour between a number of monkeys, each with their own typewriter. To make them work, tempt them with bananas, or the lack of "owwie-ass". Now, gorillas, they may be in a better position to help you out.
