My husband the professor -- who's paid to have great ideas -- will be interested in this; I'll pass it along to him.
My office mate in grad school complained to her academic advisor that she was having trouble coming up with great ideas. Her advisor -- a female advisor, no less -- said to her, "Debbie, ideas are like erections. If you try too hard, they go away again." :-)
