The student wrote a thesis on this project... and graduated.
I too have toyed with such potential topics as the political implications of 'Keep Left' Signposts and the socio-economics of low quality/inflated price illicit drugs trafficking.

I once p1ssed in a pot, called it art and two days later Satchi & Satchi offered to buy it. Unfortunately, by the time the cheque arrived, the contents of the pot had evaporated. I did offer to p1ss in the pot again for them but they asked for their cheque back citing "we don't collect copies". Duh!
