OMG.

I can't imagine turning in a paper like that. I'd like to just see the look on the professors face while reading it.

"This is my thesis statement."

i could almost swear that paper was turned in by one of the football bangers from my college....

and he actually got a D on it, what's that say?

You know, there are two sad things about this paper - the majority of the markdowns were given for language, not utter stupidity, and the paper still got a D-. It's not exactly a high grade, but it's still PASSING???

I think I'd have given it 10 points for being turned in, and another 5 for mentioning Oedipus at all. I might have even thrown in another 10 for showing enough understanding of the story to show it had been read, and another 5 for making me laugh. But that's it, and a 30 is still failing.

My urban legend detector is beeping, it just seems a bit overboard...Smart ass student hands in smart ass paper but the teacher still passes him because hell at least he's a little funny.

Providing it is read though, maybe he was given a passing grade because he was making an attempt at being creative. Some teachers count that toward something.
