I have to read the article again but I think they were from Cambridge and whenever you go to a "named" university (and not just: "I went to university") in the UK chances are you're pretty smart. I did not think of this aspect though. These people did damage the reputation of their school and should face some punishment for that.

Plus I take it no one has heard the joke routine about the fragility of hamsters right? It's an old bit and I'm not sure who did it but he had jokes like "Hamster [hamburger] Helper", etc., really good stuff. My pain in the arse gerbil outlasted 3 of my brother’s hamsters which seems to indicate the validity of his premise.
