Ch. 30 (p.156) Leto-Ilesa wedding massacre! Blenderiscious! Love them flying sawblades! Ecaz loses an arm, Dinari becomes hamburger, Ilesa gets her throat ripped out. (At 6.5 pp of real text, this is one of the longer “chapters” in the book. They do love their gore, huh?) Rhombur SMASH!
That was the second movie, right? That was 2004.SandChigger wrote:Hey... when did Kill Bill come out, with the wedding massacre scene?

The way things are in the U.S. now, kids barely get reprimanded for it anymore. I tried to fail a college student once for plagiarizing a paper and was met with a great deal of administrative pressure. They just want to make money.Serkanner wrote:I was ...Freakzilla wrote:Yeah, but you don't get an F for plagiarism, you get expelled.

Fortunately for me I was allowed back after two weeks and did manage to finish high school. After that incident I never cheated on any paper or exam any more.Nekhrun wrote:The way things are in the U.S. now, kids barely get reprimanded for it anymore.

Luckily, the bastard failed all on his own anyway.
Instead of writing comments I just like to put the links to where they stole the text.SandChigger wrote:It's ridiculously easy to tell when my students have pinched something. Even the best masters student I've ever had for composition still had the occasional problem with articles, verb aspect, or register (using more formal, academic language in their thesis, etc).
Unless the entirety of a composition has been plagiarized, I generally take the approach, "Oh, I think you forgot to put this part in quotes and tell me who said or wrote it." That plus a reminder about how bad plagiarism is ("It's stealing and lying!") is usually enough to get them to stop.
I'm tickled by the idea of someone suggesting to Keith that he attend a community college course on creative writing. This is the guy who was a panelist on the self-styled "superstars" writing seminar. I doubt there are many people on Earth who would be less willing to believe anyone else could teach them something about writing.Unfront wrote:Speaking of benefiting from the experieince...I think Brian and Keith need to attend a community college creative writing course. It might improve the immanginative content of their writing.
is that the politically correct way to say "fart" ?SandChigger wrote:Ass-backwards foreshadowing?
