I was working a computer science career fair, apparently in a ballroom at Adelphi University [where IRL I taught computer science from 1994-2014]. It was near the end of the second and final day of the career fair, and people were starting to pack up their brochures and swag, wandering around and schmoozing with colleagues they hadn't connected with earlier in the fair. And I noticed an extremely tall young man with brown hair and a pleasant face, perhaps an undergrad, talking to the people at one of the booths. My friend Angus [IRL a very funny colleague at Google who's about 6'8"], happened to be on the other side of the room, and I caught his eye. He nodded and walked over to stand next to the young man. And I saw to my surprise that Angus had a good two or three feet on the young man. This didn't make sense until I realized that Angus was sitting or standing on somebody else's shoulders, which struck me as exactly the sort of thing Angus would do. The young man smiled and started climbing on one of his friends' shoulders.
