The essay is hilarious, especially if you know your Greek tragedies...

I'm trying to find out if Shockeye was the author, but I cannot confirm YET...

Quote from: Essay Page 6
The greeks invented anal lube. [pic of anal lub product]  This is my conclusion.  The End.

Oh man, pure brilliance.  That is a quote for the ages.

EDIT: anal lub? no ...

How fucking retarded was the professor? She bothered to actually grade the entire paper. I would have stopped after it got retarded and failed him, but he gets a D-.

I thought it was great how he put in a blank page, right in the middle of the paper.

That paper required some skill.  Not the skill the paper was testing for, but still...  I don't think I would give a failing grade for that paper but I would probably ask the student to write a 'correct' paper for a grade and explain the point of the paper that he is supposed to write very clearly and why the college feels it's important that he/she has that skill.

Whoever it was is obviously very creative and easily bored and probably doesn't understand why they are being made to do what seems to be a pointless excercise.

If they did it again though I would fail them for the semester, part of college is learning to play by the rules.

I thought it was a high school paper, not college. Wow, they'll let anyone into college these days.

I like how the prof corrects the dropping of the g in fuckin.

EDIT: Actually I could see a TA grading something like that because they are too scared to not follow the "rules."  Could be BS also.

I seriously doubt that a proper professor graded it.

I've read this a long long time ago, there was a website with several papers on it;CS;RXKUTBXUACBEVZISTYBZREDBZXLJXTUS8ODNMJPHDR GE

Edit: Sorry about that.

That doesn't make any sense.  If he'd died he'd have just said, ;CS;RXKUTBXUACBEVZISTYBZREDBZXLJXTUS8ODNMJPHDR GE, and died, not carved it.

I particularly love that on the blank page the teacher writes "page is to (sic) big". A fucking ENGLISH TEACHER!!

That shit makes my skin crawl.

This has been floating around the net for years, and is certainly older than Nov 30, 2004.  That doesn't mean it was real at some point in time, but with something like this we'll never know.
