  Ragnar the Red is the name of a Nordic song, popular in Skyrim.

  Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade, As he told of bold battles and gold he had made. But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red, When he met the shield-maiden Matilda, who said; “Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead, Now I think it’s high time that you lie down and bleed!” And so then came clashing and slashing of steel, As the brave lass Matilda charged in, full of zeal And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more- When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor!

      It was probably written by someone middle-aged, so that counts I think

  Yeah the teacher is busy, they don’t have the time to verify what you submit.

  I used to try to phrase all my answers on tests and homework as uniquely as possible, because i thought regurgitating exactly what the teacher had told me was lazy. Turns out they’re not thinking over every answer we submit, oops.

  Haha I did this for my English Lit coursework, but I stole some Naruto fanfiction and replaced the names. My teacher asked if it was actually my work, and after I said it was he was super proud, said that he always knew I was gifted when it came to creative writing, and gave me a 96%.

  This was early internet days when Google was becoming a thing, and people were learning about this awesome browser called Internet Explorer.
