Like young Karl Roves in training.

Reason enough in my book to come down hard on cheaters.

But apparently some turn out as well respected chemists.

-t, your PE classes had tests??

Yeah. I don't remember it too clealry, but I think every class was required to have so many written tests. Including PE. i know I was tested on the rules of basketball. To this day I have no idea what they are, other than the ball going through the hoop scores points. It would have been nice to learn something like that in PE, actually.

I know we were required to write one full page (in English) every quarter in every class. Including PE. And foreign language classes. One of those rules that sounds l ike a good idea until it's actually implemented, and then it turns out to be full of stupidity.

Here's the wikipedia entry on Siamese cats, including a bit of info about the coloration deal [link] .

If the dirt-bags who picked on me and cheated off me in high school are now making better money than I am, I frickin' want royalties.

"It's the law!" by itself isn't a good reason to do something

Yeah, but if you don't buy into the other reasons (which is why, perhaps generously, I assume people don't follow that particular one), what's left other than fear of reprisal?

I don't think cheaters EVER regret cheating. I think they regret getting caught.

-t, did you go to school in CA? That sounds like just the BS my daughter went through when she was in school there. They called it "writing across the curriculum." Every class, even art classes, had to have written exams, with essays and everything. And, it wasn't just that they had written exams in PE, but that they had to turn in papers in every class. Art, even. I thought it was pretty damn dumb.

Thanks for all the lovely woos and hoos, earlier! I am very excited about the new position. I'm going to hijack my own phone once they announce it; it's the only reason I applied.

Gris sounded regretful. Not that I would characterize him as a cheater. But in that one instance.

Valuing the respect of your peers?
