Cheat, cheat and cheat some more

Cheat_test_phone03_5805 As if we didn't need more signs that The End is near. College students cheat like the dickens and pretty much don't think twice about it, according to the results of a poll from an outfit called CollegeHumor.com. We don't know anything about the group, or how credible they are, but they say they polled 30,000 college students around the country and found 61 percent acknowledged cheating and only 17 percent felt remorse. The poll also showed men cheat far more than women; religious students cheat more than non-religious students; and looking over someone's shoulder continues to be the most popular way to cheat. Now, don't you feel good about the future?
