Self-deprecation is worth its weight in smoldering phoenix-ashes and baby unicorn tears.

So . . . last night I posted a term paper here as a joke, mostly because so many people have been doing it of late. But then BlueDev warned me in the comments section that it might be plagarized. I worked my ever lovin' ASS off on this paper. So . . . down it came. It was in Spanish anyway, so not many people could have gotten it. Deep crap about the wonderful play, "La vida es sueno" (Life is a dream) by Calderon de la Barca. Oh well. Better safe than sorry. Suckers.

Wow, this used to be six pages. So long. And now, thanks to my computer's widescreen, and the lack of double space, it looks small. Really small. Huh.

One word of caution:

Posting this up on the net opens your work up to be plagiarized, and it opens up what you turned in to be called plagiarism.  Then you end up having to convince someone you were the author of both works.

That is the reason I have never posted any of my scholastic essays.  Perhaps I am just paranoid.

Being the oldest in my family, I can say most confidently, "Always listen to your older brother".

Too Late!  I grabbed it for my thesis!  Thanks for yanking it, now my prof cannot prove it was plagerized!

As the eldest brother, I agree with Chris, although my brothers would give me a hearty round of 'f#%koffs' if I told them what to do. They just never got the chain of command thing...

Heh, I know a guy one time who got his hands on some keys and made a quick copy of 'em and then returned to the school late at night and let himself in. Once in, he made his way to a certain filing cabinet (how he knew which one is beyond me) and extracted for himself an old term paper from years and years ago that made a good grade. Then he copied it, returned the original to the file, and left. After he got home he re-wrote the thing and made sure he put in some intentional errors because he didn't wanna make it look too good you know?

Anyway, he made like a low B on it or something and got his degree. Dude's a lawyer now if that's any surprise. I've always wondered how many out there have stolen and/or bought their way through school? I imagine A LOT!

Aww, I missed it...I reckon I could probably read it rather well. I'm not too bad at reading Spanish...it's the English to Spanish part that I hate...but Spanish-English I can translate like a mofo. ...or at least make a decent guess.
