I'd recommend using an AK-47 for defense

Why Writing A Thesis Is Harder Than Having A Baby


1. Three months before your due date, your doctor doesn't say, "I want 
you to go back and re-do the first trimester's work."


2. Unlike advisors, you can switch doctors without starting over.


3. Conceiving a baby is WAY more fun than conceiving a topic.

4. You know exactly how long pregnancy takes. A thesis can take 
forever.

5. Friends and relatives don't question the worth of a baby.

6. You don't need to explain repeatedly to friends and family what it
takes to make a baby and why you're not through yet.

7. No one will make you get an advanced degree to qualify you to have 
a baby.

8. Everyone will say your baby is cute and you'll believe them. No one 
will even ask you about your thesis, let alone refer to it as cute!

9. Babies don't require proper footnoting or adherence to a style
manual. In fact, babies do not come with any type of manual.

10. You can freely borrow other people's stuff if you're having a 
baby; if you're writing a dissertation, that's called plagiarism.

11.No one will complain that your baby is too similar to another one.

12.No matter how much trouble, some people will gladly have more than 
one baby. More than one thesis? Never.
