For academics and writers, this is a horrifying tale of deceit: a professor finds another prof who plagiarized her entire dissertation. In the end, the other prof was stripped of the Ph.D. and fired. There are few more disappointing moments than finding a student who lazily copies work (usually from the net, usually a bad paper); I cannot even imagine if I came upon another dis or book that someone passed off as their own, that was entirely my words and work.

"This hath offended!" Happy Birthday Thomas Cranmer, born this day in 1489.
