Stutts! Stutts! Stutts!
My alma mater Stutts University obviously leads the world in all areas of human endeavor. (Stutts also leads the universe in trans-human endeavors, though the details of this are for us to know and you to find out.)
And since cheating is a human endeavor, Stutts is better than everyone else at that too:
The Alternative Moralities (“AltMoâ€ÂÂ) major was instituted at Stutts four years ago, but it’s already one of the most visible, powerful departments on campus. Though it started out as a branch of the Philosophy department, its wild popularity with the studentsâ€â€Âalong with some Machievellian dealings by the AltMo professors themselvesâ€â€Âsoon made it one of the most voices inside Stutts. Proof of this came on April 23, 2003, when CHEATSTAR-1, the first-ever satellite dedicated solely to academic malfeasance, was lifted into geosynchronous orbit.“There are times in life when the standard paradigm does not work,†President Rivington said in his pre-launch remarks. “That’s why we encourage our students to seek out new solutions, wherever they might be. Studying for a test, memorizing the informationâ€â€Âthat’s one solution. Uploading your entire textbook to CHEATSTAR, is simply another, more efficient solution…We know our students could ace any test if they wanted toâ€â€Âthey’re Stutts students. That’s why nobody gets anything lower than a ‘B,’†Whitbread said, “and that’s why we’re launching CHEATSTAR.â€ÂÂ
ALSO: There's some sad news from Stutts as well. Apparently Shabby's, the used bookstore that has made generations of Stutts students smell slightly mildewed, has closed. Never again will Stuttsians be attacked by the pack of feral cats known to prowl the basement's extensive World War I history section.

Posted by: spiiderweb at May 19, 2006 11:44 PMAs I read your heart rending rendition of the AltMo, AltCurly and AltLarry inception a tear trickled down my cheek. My God I thought a whole new generation of future politicians in the mold of Tom DeLay and the Duke-stir. The future of America is bright indeed as we sally forth into the great unknown where no known has ever been known to be known or where no man has been before, multiple choice question. My tears soon turned into a torrent as I read about the homeless cats wondering where these innocents of nature would find a new bookstore to haunt. I can sense the future I see it in all its palatable forencsictudes. Darn it my voting card didn't work but I didn't know it at the time. Or I would have voted against that bill but I thought it was Sunday not Thursday. I would have voted for that bill but the prostitute I was with at the time was cutting my throat because I left my wallet at the Watergate. Damn you Jon, my cat just drowned and my pet turtle escaped from his aquarium and I ruined my carpet, I will be sending you the bill.
