Below you’ll find a room list found before Game 1 at the Four Seasons in Houston (right across from the arena), where the Thunder were staying for their first-round series against the Rockets. We didn’t run it then because we didn’t want Rockets fans pulling the fire alarm or making late-night calls to the rooms . . .
This is just great, and it makes me think we need the same thing at statistics conferences:
LAPLACE, P . . . Christian Robert
EINSTEIN, A . . . Brad Efron
CICCONE, M . . . Grace Wahba
SPRINGSTEEN, B . . . Brad Carlin
NICKS, S . . . Jennifer Hill
THATCHER, M . . . Deb Nolan
KEILLOR, G . . . Jim Berger
BARRIS, C . . . Rob Tibshirani
SOPRANO, T . . . that would be Don Rubin.
OK, you get the idea.
I’ll grab ULAM, S, if it hasn’t been taken already. Otherwise please assign me to BUNNY, B. And JORDAN, M can just use his own name; nobody would guess his real identity!
