<p>A Stanford, Harvard and U of C student were all sentenced to death by the guillotine for a crime they didn’t commit.</p>
<p>The Stanford student is placed in the the guillotine, the blade is raised, and then released. The blade comes to a screeching halt before it reaches the student’s neck. The executioner proclaims, “An act of God, release him.”</p>
<p>Next the Harvard student is placed in the the guillotine, the blade is raised, and then released. The blade comes to a screeching halt before it reaches the student’s neck. The executioner proclaims, “An act of God, release him.”</p>
<p>Finally, the U of C student is placed in the the guillotine, the blade is raised, just then the student looks up and excitedly shouts, “I see what the problem is!”</p>
