Fake degrees normally have big words written in some kind of made-up cursive writing, with a big gaudy seal in the middle.

I had a co-worker a few years ago whose diploma had the word "university" spelled incorrectly. It didn't seem to hold him back at all.

If you set light to it and it glows green then it's real, if it glows red it's fake. If blue it means you're pregnant, and purple means you're a child molester.

This is stupid. If you can't tell a degree is fake, you obviously aren't Korean.
