Greetings! I am Sigmund Freud, ze father of psychoanalysis und I am ze guest presenter for zis award. When we look at zese applets we can see zat the authors are expressing a deep felt hostility towards ze School of Computer Science und Engineering, resulting in ze urge to destroy ze logo. Zis hostility arises from a traumatic childhood episode when Avi Pilosof was almost crushed to death when a Sinclair ZX81 toppled onto him. Avi's horrified parents cast ze dangerous ZX81 out of zeir house where it was picked up by ze Hannemann family, only for history to repeat itself. So zeir you have it, zese applets were produced because of childhood trauma. Either zat, or because blowing things up is fun! Excuse me, I must get back to my DOOM game....
The prize is this lovely exploding teapot done as a Student project at Stanford.
