>> The Rabbit, The Fox, The Wolf, and the Thesis.
>>
>> One sunny  day a rabbit  came out of  her hole in  the ground to  enjoy the
>> weather. The  day was so  nice that  the  rabbit became careless  and a fox
>> sneaked up behind her and caught her.
>>
>> "I'm going to eat you for lunch!" said the fox.
>>
>> "Wait" replied the rabbit."You should at least wait a few days."
>>
>> "Oh yeah! Why should I wait?"
>>
>> "Well, I'm just writing my Ph.D. thesis!", said the rabbit.
>>
>> "Hah! That's a stupid excuse. What exactly is your thesis anyway?"
>>
>> The rabbit  replied, " It's  a thesis on  'The Superiority of  Rabbits over
>> Foxes and Wolves."
>>
>> "Are you crazy? I  should eat you here and now. Everybody  knows that a fox
>> will always win over a rabbit!",said the Fox.
>>
>> The rabbit answered,"Well, not really, not according to my research. If you
>> like, you can come to my burrow hole and read it for yourself."
>>
>> "You are really crazy!" But since the fox was curious and having nothing to
>> loose, it went with the rabbit and followed it into its hole. The fox never
>> came out again. A  few days later the rabbit was again  taking a break from
>> writing and  there came suddenly a  rustle from the bushes  and there was a
>> wolf ready to eat the rabbit.
>>
>> "Wait!" yelled the rabbit,"You cannot eat me right now!"
>>
>> The wolf asked," And why might that be, you fuzzy appetizer?"
>>
>> The rabbit replied, "I'm almost finished writing my Ph.D. thesis on 'The
>> Superiority  of Rabbits over  Foxes and Wolves".  The wolf laughed  so hard
>>  it almost  lost its  hold on  the rabbit.  The wolf  said, "  Maybe I
>> shouldn't eat you, you're really sick and might have mad rabbit's diseases,
>> and in eating you I might get Creuztfeld Jacob's disease! Everybody knows a
>> wolf is superior to a rabbit."
>>
>> The rabbit replied " You can come to my burrow and read it for yourself."
>> So the  wolf followed the rabbit  into the burrow, and  the wolf never came
>> out again. A few days later, the rabbit finished writing the thesis and was
>> out and about enjoying herself when  another rabbit came up and asked," Why
>> are you  so happy?" The rabbit  replied, "I've just finished  writing up my
>> dissertation!" The  other rabbit asked, "  What's it about?" And  the
>> rabbit said,  " The  Superiority of  Rabbits  over  Foxes and  Wolves". The
>>  other replied, "That  doesn't sound right,  are you sure?"  And the rabbit
>>  said, "Yes, you  can come and read  it for yourself!" So  the other rabbit
>> hopped along to the rabbits burrow. and went in. There it saw the typical
>> graduate students room,  all be it  in a mess  after writing a  thesis. In
>> the  right corner of  the burrow was a  pile of fox bones,  to the left was
>>  a pile of wolf bones, and in the middle, by the computer sat a lion. The
>> moral of the story  is, The  title of  the dissertation  doesn't matter,
>> it's who  your thesis advisor is.
