Quite possibly the worst essay ever written

[Guest Vitamin X]

This quite possibly couldn't have been done in a serious manner, but the fact that it was turned in and graded was kind of funny.

Apparently that kid was all fucked on halucinogens when he wrote that, according to the story I read about it anyway.

[Guest Vitamin X]

And he still managed a 61% (D-) on it!

There's no way all those penalties added up to a 61.

[Guest Vitamin X]

The teacher must have pitied him. But it does say it right on the final page, 61% in a circle with D- on the side.

He then did two lines of pure cocaine off the back of his dead dad.

 

Very funny.

[Guest Smues]

Already saw this in the other thread, but as for the 'it can't add up to a 61' I thought that too, then I figured it's a 61%, and the paper was probabl worth more then 100 points.

I've never laughed so hard at something from the 'net before in my life.

 

In the version which must have been the favorite of Sophocles's Athenian audience, Oedipus found sanctuary at Colonus, outside of Athens. The kindness he was shown at the end made the city itself blessed. Which is the gayest ending ever. The greeks invented anal lube. This is my conclusion. The end.

 

This is page 3.

That was honestly one of the funniest things I've ever read. I especially liked that Lou Gehrig and Dr. Dre were both central enough to the story of Oedipus to warrant their own picture. And if that essay's passing, I'd hate to see what it takes to fail at that school.

Awesome. I never knew that the Greeks invented anal lube.

 

What is amazing is that for the most part he had pretty good grammar.

I'm just reading this again, and it's still funny.

 

Ridin the benzo, poppin my colla

See some fine wenches, I have to holla

Diamonds, gold, and the almighty dolla

I'm Oedipus bitches, the original balla,

I bust up my 9 to light up your impala.

Fuck that police!

I doubt this is real. What professor would grade the whole paper after reading that first page?

My favorite line:

 

"(None of this makes much sense. Again, don't worry about it. This is a folk tale not a god damn Oxy Clean Commercial.)"

D has always = failing when I was in school.

Do you live in the UK? I know that Ds are failing grades there, while most high school kids are happy to get them in Canada and the U.S.

You wouldn't want to find out how that ends?

61 is an F (anything below a 65)

Not in the US. There's just a simple ten point scale at the vast majority of colleges.

 

90-100 A

80-90 B

70-80 C

60-70 D

Below 60 F

It varies from department to department at my college.

I call bullshit. Look at the "teacher's" handwriting- it looks like a 5th grader's handwriting. Not to mention the fact that the teacher used the wrong form of "too". Finally, there's no way a teacher would grade this all the way through, and certainly no way this would receive 61 points, even if it was out of 1000.

a lot of colleges will technically pass you with a D, but you don't get the course credit unless you get a C or higher.
