Cat With A High School Diploma

By Jill Harness in Everything Else on Aug 14, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Better Business Bureau employee Kelvin Collins wanted to learn more about diploma mills and make a point about their uselessness, so he helped his cat Oreo receive a high school diploma from a diploma mill high school.

“Oreo’s a really smart cat… She keeps up with current events,” said Collins.

Apparently, Collins hardly even lied on the application.

“I did lie about one thing. You have to be 18 to take the test and Oreo is only two, but that could be 18 in cat years. Who knows?” he said.

SEE!!!

Proof cats are smarter than dogs. A stupid dog would actually DO the three years at uni to get a diploma.

I read something like that once… Ben Goldacre (Who is awesome: badscience.net) got a certified professional membership of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants for his dead cat Hettie. Just like “Doctor” Gillian McKieth

Okay, in order to redeem himself for his previous cat-bashing, Briannana now has to say something cute like “I can haz diploma?”.

Go ahead…

Reminds of the post about cats mind controlling people. They’re one step closer to getting a cat in the white house, you know. Then we’ll all be changing out the kitty litter boxes.

@Sc0tty, I think that’s the real reason we have the age limit for presidents.

Its even funnier that the article is surrounded by ads for snake-oil weight loss products and credit report paranoia.

Point that finger at who…?
