So I was sitting there half paying attention to Palmer's Vision lecture about shape recognition today, when he accidently, but very effectively, got my complete and undivided attention. This is probably one of the funniest things I've heard in lecture, like, ever.

"So the problem is determining what features describe A-ness."
::after a moment of silence, the class bursts into laughter::
"Oh. Sorry about that. Aren't you glad I wasn't trying to describe P?"
-- Steve Palmer and the class
But then, of course, he started discussing the possibilities of using "generalized cylinders" for describing shapes, and I just didn't stand a chance at keeping a straight face.
