Need ideas for your VLSI's paper?

Maybe Calvin & Hobbes can give us a hint:

"My powerful brain has come up with a topic for my paper"
"Great"
"I'll write about the debate over Tyrannosaurs. Were they fearsome predators or disgusting scavengers?"
"Which side will you defend?"
"Oh, I believe they were fearsome predators, definitely."
"How come?"
"They're *so* much cooler that way"

You could try a super-hyper-mega filter for stellar noise with, of course, USB connection for UFOs!
