The Essay Rickroll

The Intertubes is all a twitter about a student who RickRoll'd his professor by embedding "Never Gonna Give You Up" in his essay in a very unique way.

Thanks to Isis for this one:

Unfortunately, I do not have the original copy with teacher comments. However, he showed it to me after he got his "bullshit" grade of 50%. It said, "Very interesting, but the assignment was to read a novel, that's why we had reading time in class." This was a term-long project. Even better, he had already read this book for another class: we were doing a translation in Latin.

When the composition is almost as long as the book itself, then you have to give the student an A!*

*really you do, check the rules on marking a composition! I'm pretty sure it's in there... what do you mean 'there's no such thing as composition marking rules'?

Binary Poem

So for those of your who do not read binary, I translated this with my 1337 h@x0r skillz:

Poem.
You translated my poem,
I congratulate you.
I wish I could rhyme with poem,
but its very hard to.
I just beguiled you,

And before you ask, the teacher obviously didn't know what the student wrote, given the comments, but I still applaud them for having a sense of humor.

V+!
