Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

exceptyou can't fail one of your own PhD students. And you certainly don't mark or viva your own students thesis. You have absoultely no say in whether they pass or fail, that's down to the internal and external examiners. the most he could have done is tell to the student that he wouldn't support the submission of the thesis as is, and even then it's difficult to stop the student submitting anyway. The student would then probably fail for plagiarism, of course, vivas are very thorough, but not by their tutor's hand.
Does telling fibs on a QOTW answer about lying create some kind of recursive loop?
