got this from a friend
> 
> The Rabbit's Thesis
> 
>  One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to 
>  enjoy the fine weather. The day was so nice that she became 
>  careless and a fox snuck up behind her and caught her.
> 
>  "I am 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 am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of 
>  Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"
> 
>  "Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody 
>  knows that a fox will always win over a rabbit."
> 
>  "Not really, not according to my research. If you like, 
>  you can come into my hole and read it for yourself.
>  If you are not convinced, you can go ahead and have 
>  me for lunch."
> 
>  "You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious
>  and had nothing to lose, it went with the rabbit. The fox 
>  never came out.
> 
>  A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break 
>  from writing and sure enough, a wolf came out of the 
>  bushes and was ready to set upon her.
> 
>  "Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now." 
> 
>  "And why might that be, my furry appetizer?" 
> 
>  "I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority 
>  of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'"
> 
>  The wolf laughed so hard that it almost lost its grip on the 
>  rabbit.
> 
>  "Maybe I shouldn't eat you; you really are sick ... in the head. 
>  You might have something contagious."
> 
>  "Come and read it for yourself; you can eat me afterward
>  if you disagree with my conclusions." So the wolf went down 
>  into the rabbit's hole ... and never came out.
> 
>  The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating
>  in the local lettuce patch. Another rabbit came along and 
>  asked, "What's up? You seem very happy."
> 
>  "Yup, I just finished my thesis."
> 
>  "Congratulations. What's it about?" 
> 
>  "'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'" 
> 
>  "Are you sure? That doesn't sound right." 
> 
>  "Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself." 
> 
>  So together they went down into the rabbit's hole. As
>  they entered, the friend saw the typical graduate abode, 
>  albeit a rather messy one after writing a thesis. The
>  computer with the controversial work was in one corner. 
>  And to the right there was a pile of fox bones, on the
>  left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, 
>  well fed lion.
> 
>  The moral of the story:
> 
>  The title of your thesis doesn't matter. 
>  The subject doesn't matter.
>  The research doesn't matter.
> 
>  All that matters is who your advisor is.
