Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby agree to the following as well: by leaving a comment you grant to the proprietors the right to release ALL your comments to this blog under this Creative Commons license (attribution 2.5). This license allows copying, derivative works, and commercial use.
Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you are also granting to this blog's proprietors the right to so release any and all comments you may make to any OTHER blog at any time. This is retroactive. By publishing ANY comment to this blog, you thereby grant to the proprietors of this blog the right to release any of your comments (made to any blog, at any time, past, present or future) under the terms of the above CC license.

If you do NOT agree to these terms, for pete's sake do NOT leave a comment. It's that simple.
- Confused by our comment policy?We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
My perception of the phenomena of your awareness of grading 80 papers leads me to believe you need sleep. However, the fact that the 80 papers will not grade themselves and will be waiting for you when you regain cognizance makes the idea of sleep less appealing. Of course your perception of the task will be completely different after...
Na, I think it's some kind of Ninja trick.

I'm right there with, John. Well, I actually only have 6 to go. But soon enough!

Couldn't it be both? Ninjas are notorious for waiting until their victims are in a vulnerable position. Much like serial ticklers.

Forty-eight to go here. Hang in!

I thought that said "80s papers" which made me wonder if papers come in vintages and styles, like songs and speeches and hair cuts. . .80s papers not so good, bad 90s papers, but late 50s papers are back in style. . .the purple tracksuit goes with that, somehow.

hello prof!
maybe we can grade our own papers? :) pretty please? :)
Posted by: happy-that-i-finished-my-paper | March 02, 2006 at 04:09 PM
No, I don't feel that grading your own papers would be appropriate ;)

I recall your comment that just _reading_ 80 papers - at Berkeley - was like being hit repeatedly with a w(h)iffleball bat. Doesn't hurt, but after a while, it starts to get at you... I have often used this simile in like circumstances.

Jeez, John. You didn't even consider that guy's proposal.
