Oh Goody! All my favorite things. I know a title already!
"On the kinesiology and history of multi-strand jumproping: Double-Dutch past and present"
I think starting a dissertation with "On the" is so wonderfully pompous... ahh... makes me want to wear tweed and smoke a pipe...just like the academics in the good old days.

Yeah, you can fudge the statistics for sure, because my profs won't really catch on, as long as the graphs look compelling. And since you'll be fudging statistics, you might as well fudge the graphs too. Science becomes "art"? yeah. That would be cool :)One problem is that I'm fairly well-known. We may need to do some stagecraft to make sure that you don't get exposed. I'm thinking a lot of facial bandages that you have to wear for a while? You can tell people that Li got a "cosmetic procedure" and fail to elaborate. Big sunglasses, hats, hoods, you know?
oooh, this is going to be good!
I'm almost looking forward to the defense date!
