Cat Earns GED On The Internet

Oreo C. Collins, a two-year-old tuxedo cat from Macon, Ga., may be the very first in her family to obtain a GED diploma. (Of course, we may never know for sure because, as she writes in her “life experience essay” portion of the test, she’s adopted.) WMAZ-TV in Macon, Ga. reports that for a $200 fee, Oreo recently received her diploma from Jefferson High School Online with the help of her owner, Better Business Bureau employee, Kelvin Collins.

“Oreo’s a really smart cat,” Kelvin told WMAZ-TV. “She keeps up with current events.”

No doubt that’s why Kelvin solicited Oreo’s help in the Better Business Bureau’s experiment to expose Internet diploma mills.
