The First Law

For generations, some wild-eyed scientists have scoffed at the
warnings of common sense. Knowing that the Laws of Thermodynamics
forbid perpetual motion, they still struggled, quite in vain, to
create such a device. If only, they reasoned, we could defy
Thermodynamics, we could power the whole world, eliminate poverty, end
war!

Well, it seems that unbeknownst to the world, someone has finally
succeeded in flaunting those Universe-governing laws. Alas, they did
not use their discovery for good, but for the evilest evil. It seems,
dear reader, that they seek only to torture TAs.

Though I struggle mightily, adding homework after homework to the Done
pile, the damn To Grade pile never shrinks! "Conservation of Mass" my
tiny white ass!

Seriously, this is only a twice-per-month gig for me; I don't know how
you teachers do it. Respect.

and i bet plenty of the papers make you want to stab your eyes out, yes? the crap i produced in college for classes i didn't love (not that your discipline is unlovable...but...) was monumental in terms of its deviance from reality/truth. masterpieces in themselves. but doubtlessly torture for a t.a.
hang in there, li'l bro
