Dr. Billingsgate Awarded Doctorate # 12
Reuters: Cayman Islands 9-29-08
Breaking News: Dr. Viscount Billingsgate will be traveling to the Cayman Islands this week to pick up his 12th Doctorate from LaFontaine College. Although earning 12 Doctorates seems somewhat novel to many who have neither the means nor the intellectual qualities necessary, it is far from the world record held by Dr. Thaddeus Sheepskin, a Scottish sailor who washed up on a Cayman Island beach in 1878. With nothing else to do, Thaddeus, who had no previous educational experience, spent his days in the classrooms of LaFontaine College, earning 27 Doctorates over a period of 13 years. Although unlikely to overcome this lead, Dr. Billingsgate will receive his 12th Doctorate in Solopistic Sophism this weekend. While gone he will leave his friends at ACOC to fend for themselves this week.
