Things I do not understand:

How could this kid have scammed so many prestigious universities and organizations? Why is it that only the Rhodes Scholarship people figured out what a bunch of BS all this was? And why did he keep doing it even after he got caught? (via Metafilter)

Also, if we ever perfect time machines, an early-20s Jake Gyllenhaal would have to be my first choice to play Young Mr. Wheeler.
