Great Fraud Presentation

Dear all,

We had a slide presentation on Thursday afternoon on ethics in science especially misconduct in science. So, my group got the topic 'Fraud in Science'..Since the whole thing was a last minute work, (I hate last minute tasks) but it is hard to avoid when some other people are responsible for the ineffciency.

Wednesday afternoon we got together and hunted for informations..regarding the topic.
Then, I took the ugly slides home and decorated them..okay, I was working from 10pm at night til 5am the next morning to beautify the slides..Trust me, I can't stand slides which are below my expectation levels..especially if I were to present the slides to an audience of 30 (even though, all of them are just my friends)..

As expected, from other groups, the performance was really bad..their slides looked like it has been done like 15 minutes ago....(well, the audiences slept through the slides)- that must be really bad isn't it?

So, after the great presentation by me..I was expecting some 'you know what' -comments on how I performed-honestly, I think some praisal is due for the presentation that I gave..

Disappointingly, he (the lecturer) said all 'did a great job'! Can you believe it? sigh, he is 78 years old..maybe, he has lost his ability to tell apart what is best and what is not..must be some chemical toxication over the time spent in the lab...

well, end of the great story...the great thing is that the whole presentation material was a 'cut and paste' from the internet-a fraud slide..the best part-no one realized it...how bad can this be?
