This year’s Siggraph Fantasy Graphics League started today. You basically select upto twelve researchers (with some quatloos you are given). Then they award points based on the number of publications your Graphics Lab gets in Siggraph 2004.
Be sure to read the interesting backstory. Excerpt:

“To be honest, they’ve seen how cost-cutting impresses Wall Street. A company lays off 5% of its workforce and its stock price rises 12%. Another cuts 20% and its price jumps up 50%. The way the board figures it, by cutting 98% of the workforce, the stock should rise by about 29,328%, which would really help the bottom line.”

While you are at it also check this rather amusing interview of last year’s winner.
