Help me sabotage my paper

Post by Flake »

Hey all,

I'm working on a paper for a class I'm taking, Russian History until 1917. Topic of the paper is Napoleon and Russia - Gee, I hope I can find some literature to cite.

Anyway, I'm doing my best to procrastinate on this one - and you can help!

What I'm looking for is a short, ironic, and one-sentence statement to try and hide somewhere in my paper. Place and method of hiding to be up to me. Winner will be decided by whoever I like most. Prize will be nada.

Any takers?

Speed, determination, and memory, all of which vodka would ruin for me. ;)

We might just have a winner right off the bat.

I would say just put a "Dynamite" after a Napoleon in your paper.

That's not quite the 'hiding it in my paper' approach I was hoping to use.

Put a made up fact in there like "On July 2, 1902, Russians discovered blinking."

Nah, I can't be that obvious. I'm thinking about going back after I've finished the paper and creating a hidden anagram or something.

How does this professor handle humor? Most professors I know wouldn't handle these things well.

On another note, how has this class been? The course sounds interesting.
