At Siggraph Bowl there are no losers, just people who disgraced themselves
in front of thousands, and sorely disappointed their friends, colleagues
and admirers.
And maybe Canada is slightly larger than Ithaca (if you inlude Yukon and
the Northwest Territories), but look at how many Siggraph papers come
from Ithaca compared to from Canada (I won't tell you how many, it might
come up on the next Siggraph Bowl).
