Plagarism saga

(3) I do adore the karmic irony of the whole thing.

(4) I have e-mailed links to every teacher I know. Including one who, upon deciding in his mercy that he would fail his plagarists instead of turning them in to the unversity for the advertised penalty of expulsion, discovered to his disgust that the head of his department routinely offered rewrites instead.

(5) For fuck's sake, she turned in a paper with the sentence "I made a doody" in it. If plagarism were punishable by death I would have to nominate her for a darwin award in lieu of sympathy.

You must not have read the saga cover-to-cover (as I did. No, I'm VERY busy; why do you ask?) One of the comments (the comments are the real entertainment, imv) points out the irony of a bunch of supposed academics tossing the phrase "just desserts" around.

So, is it just cake and ice cream? Just tiramisu and chocolate souffle?
