I don't usually post stuff found on the web, but hey- if you ever thought one of your term papers was bad, you'll feel much better after reading this. (Some parts are really pushing it, but hey!)

Anyway, in light of spicing up the topic- what are some of your funny essay/term paper stories? Desperate, last minute ones? Or anything just out of the ordinary?
My worst essay on an exam was probably when my teacher knowingly said to the class as they were leaving (the day before) to "make sure to study Bach!" When we got to the exam, the essay was about Handel. The only thing I could remember was that Handel wrote The Messiah, and that he went blind in a carriage accident. So I wrote my whole essay on how going blind in a carriage accident inspired Handel to write the Messiah. I did better than my friend, though- who just drew a picture of Handel on a bicycle because she couldn't remember anything at all.
