I started graduate school in 1994, and I got a Researchship. Robertson-Sanders-Seymour-Thomas had found a new proof of the 4 Color Theorem and written their algorithm to 4-color a graph in C. My task was to debug it and rewrite it in Pascal. (My biggest claim to fame.)
We had one of our dachshunds go down in the back, partially because he kept doing this.
