First, "students from non-religious independent schools had the lowest cheating rate, 47 percent, compared to 63 percent of students attending religious schools."

So do students of religious schools cheat more on tests, or lie less on polls?

And now an online translation FAIL:

母ガスを分解せずに検出できる新ガス分析法
"My mother can detect gases without degrading the new gas analysis method."

I'll overlook the fact that you're selling your mother and that she has rather unusual properties, but can I really stick your mother's head inside a molecular-beam epitaxy chamber?

I never know how to answer those cheating questions. I believe i cheated, but I cheated by giving the jocks the answers to the tests so they wouldn't beat me up (the big varsity football players who were in the lower level math classes and struggling to keep their C-average up and stay on the team).

But yeah, I cheated once at a religious school: for a test in religion class, I copied the chapter/verse numbers of the Bible passages we were supposed to memorize on a slip of paper on the back of my wristwatch.

I'm proud that I can't (won't?) memorize Bible passages or book/chapter/verse.
