On the Page http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig/

 

Under Academic Papers   there is a link to “Drs. Fotis Georgatos's MSc thesis, How applicable is Python as first computer language for teaching programming in a pre-university educational environment, from a teacher's point of view?”

 

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0809/0809.1437.pdf

 

On the third page of the thesis it says “Each word of this thesis is plagiarized. I have never generated a single word myself.”

So is this a real thesis? Was he making a joke? Is the link supposed to be a Joke?

 

I’m asking since I quoted it twice and then someone asked me the same question.
