Since I can’t avoid this unfortunate event called defense, I might as well make the most of it, eh? XD I am really considering taking into account some of these pointers.
Especially:
#28 filling the room with laughing gas
#30 asking to phrase the questions in the form of an answer
#32 presenting my entire talk in iambic pentameter
#77 using a Greek Chorus to highlight important points
#92 making everyone pose for a group photo (trolllolloll, I would certainly love this one)
#125 flashing ”APPLAUSE” and “LAUGHTER” signs
#22 end the thesis defense with “And it would have worked if it weren’t for those meddling kids…”
Oh, and I could address the committee as “brothers and sisters” and give them Helquist’s illustrations to colour during my speech

will you? really? i’d like the greek chorus, and the pentameter would be nice, too. The signs won’t work, as everyone will be asleep, lol.
