This man is one to thank if I manage to finish my album and my thesis within the same year. Or even if I don't.

Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:

preface to doctoral dissertation, with highlighted text in middle of long paragraph reading: "The writing of my thesis was virtually complete in 1974, but the submission was deferred due to various pressures."

Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.

Those various pressures.
