While grading essays, I came across these gems, both in the same essay:
"This quote is by a philosopher, a quote by a man who deals in the netherworld, a man who dabbles in romanticism."
(You'll have to excuse him, he's been dabbling in the netherworld lately)
"To be one of the best football players you much be lightning quick, sly as a tiger, ferocious like a lion. One would need the determination of a rhino and the speed of a snake."
(Who knew that rhinos were so determined?)
Grading essays is often dull but sometimes, stuff like this happens and it makes it almost worthwhile.
