Scary Statistics du Jour

Sometimes Liz and Valerie read an article that makes them go "Whoooouuuuaaa!" in surprise and alarm. According to a study by some guy at Rutgers University, grad students are dirty cheaters. This is especially distressing when you consider that these are the people who supposedly have the expertise to do things like prescribe medicine and build skyscrapers. Think about it: how good can they be if they had to cheat their way through school?

The worst part is, the business students who cheat (56%!) think it is "a necessary measure and the sort of practice they'd likely need to succeed in the professional world." This is why Liz and Valerie need to buy an island and form their own country--you know, one with ethical people instead of whiny rationalizers. If you are very good, they might invite you to join them.
