“Dr.” Jill is our Elena Ceausescu...

According to a 1984 report by Radio Free Europe: “It is rumoured that, at the time when she wanted to receive her doctorate from the Bucharest Faculty of Chemistry, she met with strong opposition from the Romanian chemist Costin D. Nenițescu, the Dean of the faculty. She was forced instead to present her thesis to Cristofor I. Simionescu and Ioan Ursu at the University of Iași, where she met with complete success.”[14] The dissertation is titled the “Stereospecific Polymerization of Isoprene” and has substantial scientific value, being still bought[15] and cited today. Elena Ceausescu went to school only up to 4th grade, which she failed, and thus it is implausible for her to have written the dissertation in 1967. The real authors remain anonymous, but indirect evidence points to a group of brilliant Romanian chemists lead by Dr. Ozias Solomon; professor Solomon was a renowned chemist and he had been forced to publish with Elena Ceausescu.[16]

She was sometimes nicknamed Codoi, referring to her alleged mispronunciation of the name of the chemical compound CO2 (C for carbon, O for oxygen, and “doi” being Romanian for “two”). She was mocked by many, including an official who called her by this nickname during her show trial.[17][18][19][20] Contributing to the humorous effect, “codoi” is an actual word in Romanian, meaning “big tail”.[21]
