That's why you don't just put it out there. You hide it. Like strategically placing a word from the sentence at the same spot in each paragraph or (and this is the hard part) making it so that the first letters of the first however many words spell out the sentence.

The goal is to pop it in there in a way that will be noticed but still have the benefit of the doubt that it might just be a coincidence.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

No offense, but if you can't be creative enough to think of something funny or ironic on your own than your best leaving it out. It's like by sabotaging your paper your trying to be original, but soliciting others for ideas is kind of the opposite of that.

I always wonder how students can put so much effort into trying to get around writing a paper, or in this instance, trying to be cute in the paper, when just doing the paper well would probably take less effort.

Seems like such backwards logic to me

Yes, asking for others to participate in my chicanery defeats the purpose of said chicanery. Except that it doesn't... What's the point of antics if you're not going to let others in on it? Trust me, friend. Coming up with the funny has never been a problem for me. I just wanted to see what everyone else could come up with.

Dude, I'm totally and completely burnt out at this point. I honestly don't give a shit any more. To say I'm phoning it in would be an overly generous description of my study habits. That said, I can't sabotage a paper until I actually get the paper written - having some silly thing to add into it keeps me thinking about it and working on it. Everyone has their own methods, right?
