Back to School Awards
Bonehead award one goes to a renowned Brazilian university, Estacio de Sa because a 27-year-old illiterate man, yes a man who cannot even read or write, took their entrance exam for law school, only answering the multiple choice questions and not bothering with the rest of the test, and passed WITH HONORS, qualifying for entry to the university.
He came in 9th out of hundreds of applicants so you can just imagine what the rest of the applicants were like. And you can further just imagine the quality of applicants at the non-renowned Brazilian law schools.
He took the test as a candidate sponsored by Brazilian TV station O Globo that wanted to make a point about law school quality in Brazil.

Bonehead award two goes to several Australian schoolboys who went through the effort to produce fake driving licenses that officials said were of impressive quality, that they planned to use to help them get into pubs and clubs, but who got caught because they didn't change out of their school uniforms for their photos.

Why marketing people must be forced to take math courses.
Bonehead award three. Stephen Yeo, marketing director at PC terminal manufacturer Wyse, explaining his company's growth strategy:"We've been doubling sales every 18 months. However, when you start from zero, it takes a long time.
"Indeed it does. Seems like forever.

Bonehead award four goes to Sacramento (California) State University's Writing Center for removing a photograph of a sea shell from an art exhibit because some people at the center said it reminded them of a vagina.
They said it was too sensual.
Hmm. Whatever turns you on, baby.They should ponder the words of Sigmund Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

 PhD Dissertation
A bunny rabbit is sitting in a clearing in the woods, typing away on his laptop computer.
A fox comes along, and asks the bunny rabbit what he is doing.
The rabbit replies, "I'm writing my PhD dissertation."
"What are you writing about?" asks the fox.
"The title of the thesis is: 'Predation by Bunny Rabbits on Foxes and Wolves'," said the rabbit.
"Predation by rabbits on foxes and wolves?" exclaimed the fox, "But rabbits don't prey on foxes and wolves--that's counterintuitive!"
"Well" said the rabbit "perhaps you would like to come down into my burrow, and see my data!"
The fox follows the rabbit down the rabbit hole, and a few minutes later the rabbit emerges brushing fox fur from his arm and picking bits of fox out of his teeth. He returns to his typing.
A few minutes later, a wolf comes by, and asks the rabbit what he is doing.
"I'm writing my PhD dissertation; it's titled: 'Predation by Bunny Rabbits on Foxes and Wolves'," said the rabbit.
"Predation by rabbits on foxes and wolves?" exclaimed the wolf, "But rabbits don't prey on foxes and wolves--that's counterintuitive!"
"Well," said the rabbit, "Perhaps you would like to come down into my burrow, and see my data!"
The wolf follows the rabbit down the rabbit hole, and a few minutes later the rabbit emerges brushing wolf fur from his arm and picking bits of wolf out of his teeth. He returns to his typing.
A few minutes later, a grizzly bear emerges from the rabbit hole, turns to the bunny rabbit, and says, "The second chapter looks fine. I'll read the third chapter next week."
