Oh shit DU, the plagiarism just became actually funny.

So another student in my class replied to the post by P. Plagiarizer.

And used the quote that I made up to make a point, then said this was from our book.



It's like the Marx Brothers of plagiarism. Seriously, I'm going to go to a better school and I will not let you know which one I attend now, to protect the names of the innocent.
