The nailing of the dissertation

[frualeydis]

In ten minutes I, Vendela and Valeria and a couple of friends from work are going down to the main university building and nail my dissertation to the wall. Rickard is meeting us there.
Yep, that's right. We're keeping the old mediaeval tradition of nailing dissertations to a wall, the prejudice for Luther's nailing of his "theses" to a church wall.
At most universities this is replaced by an announcement on the university's web site, but Göteborg, Umeå, Luleå and Linköping still keep to the old ways.
Finally it's beginning to feel real.

Congratulations! In Linköping they nail the dissertations to a tree instead of a wall, but it's almost the same thing. I studied there for four years. Is there any way to buy a copy of the dissertation?
