D'oh! Tesher taken in by urban legend

Hi All:

In a letter to the editor in today's Toronto Metro, a writer takes a columnist to task over the "Dead roommate = 4.0 grade point average" myth.

Quote:
The reason for this is the roommate suicide/automatic 4.0 is a total urban legend that has been covered both by the television show “Urban Legends Revealed” and by Snopes, a great website for verifying urban legends: www.snopes.com
You can find the letter on page four of today's Toronto Metro.

Ta ra 'wan,

Ieuan "It must be true. It's in the paper" ab Arthur
