For some reason the term seems to collect fun.  At SIGGRAPH in Dallas
this year the Ray-tracing course organizers kept bringing up the
"related fields" of rat-racing and tray-racing.  Last SIGGRAPH there
was a "tutourial video" on tray-racing that was shown; it involved
sliding trays down stairs, and gave examples of acceleration techniques, etc.
One wonders.
