Writing A Thesis

One fine, sunny day, a rabbit sat outside his burrow, typing on his laptop. Along came a fox, out for a walk.

Fox: "What are you working on, Rabbit?"

Rabbit: "My thesis."

Fox: "Hmm. What's it about?"

Rabbit: "About how rabbits eat foxes."

Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes."

Rabbit: "Sure they do. And I can prove it! Come into my burrow."

They disappeared inside and after a few minutes, the rabbit emerged alone, returned to his laptop, and resumed typing. Soon, a wolf came along.

Wolf: "What are you working on, Rabbit?"

Rabbit: "My thesis."

Wolf: "Hmm. What's it about?"

Rabbit: "About how rabbits eat wolves."

Wolf: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat wolves."

Rabbit: "Sure they do. And I can prove it! Come into my burrow."

They disappeared inside and after a few minutes, the rabbit emerged alone, returned to his laptop, and resumed typing. Meanwhile, inside the rabbit's burrow there was a pile of fox bones and a pile of wolf bones and a lion picking his teeth.

The Moral?

It doesn't matter what you choose for a thesis subject. It doesn't matter what you use for data. What matters is who you have for a thesis advisor!
