9. According to a 2012 Paw Research Center survey, 70% of respondents said they would be very upset at people who had CHEATED THE GOVERNMENT out of benefits they weren't entitled to, but just 45% said the same about people who had not paid all the income taxes they owed.
10. MARATHONS seem to attract cheaters, and that includes last year's Chicago Marathon winner, Kenya's Rita Jeptoo, for use of a banned performance-enhancing substance. But the champion marathon cheater of all time was Rosie Ruiz, whose apparent victory in Boston in 1980 was overturned when it became clear she had run hardly any of the race.
When asked why she didn't seem particularly tired at the finish, she remarked, "I got up with a lot of energy this morning."
I Don't have a Lot of Energy, But Not Dumb Enough to Run a Marathon. --DaCoot
