Ultimate University Survival Tool
Someone clued me in to this invaluable web page. If you happen to end up with a nutty deconstructionist professor (an all-too-frequent occurrence at any post-modern university, or even small college), it will allow you to spew semiotic nonsense without having to twist your brain coming up with it yourself. The nice thing about it is that it is randomly generated, so each paper is unique, and can't be found on the web by profs looking for plagiarists. If you need a longer paper, just run it several times and splice the outputs together via cut'n'paste. Don't worry--doing so won't accidentally inject any semantic content--it may even reduce it, if that's possible. But it will read like an "A" paper in Lacanian analysis.
