Procrastination

This topic is inspired by the various occurrences of the phenomenon of `procrastination' in the regular comics on phdcomics.com.

To me (maybe, being a dutchman), the word was new, so here goes (From Merriam-Webster):

pro·cras·ti·nate
Function: verb
Etymology: Latin procrastinatus, past participle of procrastinare, from pro- forward + crastinus of tomorrow, from cras tomorrow
transitive senses : to put off intentionally and habitually
intransitive senses : to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done

Nederlands: teuten, dralen, hannesen, talmen, treuzelen

Being PhD students, my colleagues and I of course have to procrastinate on a regular basis. Just to prevent getting overworked, quitting PhD and ending up in the gutter. It's just a precautionary measure. Below are some of our favourite ways of procrastinating.
