For a second, I really wanted this to be true. Great satire from The Onion.
According to Mead's website, the ruling lines in the grad-school-ruled notebooks will be placed 3.55 millimeters apart, making them "infinitely more practical" for postgraduate work than the 7.1 millimeter college-ruled notebooks. In addition, the standard 1.5-inch top margin normally provided for dates and headers will be halved, and the left-hand margin will be eliminated entirely.
"Just think: If you are writing a dissertation on elements of thanatopsis and necromimesis as they relate to cacaesthesian themes of mid-20th-century Irish literature, do you really want your notebook lines to be more than seven millimeters apart?" Luke said. "Of course not."
"When you're in grad school, every millimeter counts," he added.
I loved this too!

Does anyone know where in Pennsylvania you can order or buy these notebooks? I can't find them in any of the local stores!!!!
Carol, The Onion is a spoof news site.
