Yes, it’s true, fine denizens of the internet. Harvard students are not as smart as they want you to believe. As it turns out, their secret to success is quite simple: find someone with a great idea and take it. Shock and Awe!

In case you haven’t heard, Facebook has been dealing recently with some legal concerns over its origins. Apparently, three former Harvard students, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, claim that they came up with the idea for Facebook first and that Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO and founder, took their idea after being hired by them to develop a Harvard dating site called “Harvard Connection.” Is it true? Well, Facebook has opted to settle out of court, so make of that what you will. You’d think that would be the end of it, but it's not! Apparently, another Harvard alumnus Aaron J. Greenspan claims that he came up with the idea before both of them. God, what a shit storm…

So what does this tell us about Harvard students? Well, at the very least, they like to take credit for other people’s ideas. I’d take it one step further, though, and say that they like to plagiarize. I mean everyone knows that Harvard suffers from severe grade inflation. They can’t all be geniuses! I propose that there are only a handful of brainiacs at Harvard, and the rest are people skilled at copying off of their papers.

Yeah, that must be it. Right??? Ok, maybe not.
