Below is a teaser, but you really should read the whole site. Start from the post on the bottom of the page and work your way up.

Enjoy.

At this point, I made a bargain with myself that if I said something sarcastic, and she continued to ask me for help, that I would be obligated to *beep* with her, so....

Nate Kushner: I am qualified, seeing as how it says Hindu in my profile.
Laura K. Krishna: well i am looking fro soemone to write me a paper i am more than willing to send u a check in the mail...money isn't really an object to me
Laura K. Krishna: what do u think
Laura K. Krishna: if ur answer is no its ok just tell me

Wow. I thought she was just going to ask me a question about Hinduism (and having taken a college course on Indian history, I actually do know enough about it to make up some funny lies), but instead, I'm in charge of writing a paper, and she wants to pay for it. Continuing....

Nate Kushner: Yeah, that;s something we can talk about.
Laura K. Krishna: lets talk about it then
Nate Kushner: As long as you understand that plagiarism is not going to free you from the painful cycle of death and rebirth any quicker.
Laura K. Krishna: ok
Laura K. Krishna: so can u help me
Nate Kushner: I think I can. It is my duty, as we are all children in the arms of Chivas.


I reached one more branch out to her, in the form of misspelling the name of the god of destruction as a liquor brand. But it wasn't enough to get her to tell me to *beep* myself, so I started making up my plan. Which was real simple: Take her money and cut and paste a paper together from the internet that was so obviously plagiarised that she'd be guaranteed to get caught.

Haha- when I read the title of this thread I thought you were talking about the admin at seoulchat who has stolen all the threads from this site!

I read this, and didn't find it as funny/horrifying/dramatic as others who have pounced on the story. It's just a bit sad and confusing.
