Okay, so my best friend and I wrote this while we were in college. Her: double-major in Sociology and Psychology. Me: major in Accounting, minor in Psychology. This is but one example of the human mind's rebellion against the unbearable, written in response to the sometimes poorly written, typically unbearably repetitive, and occasionally nearly-impossible-to-follow textbooks we were forced to read in order to maintain our GPAs.
The plate with approximately 12 or 13 curvilinear designs placed almost within the center clattered on the scratched wooden table that she had made out of steel so many years before she had ever owned a plate. (At least 8 years prior to her having obtained the plate with approximately 12 or 13 curvilinear designs placed within the center that had just been clattering.) The curvilinear designs that were almost within the center of the plate that was clattering a moment ago and that will possibly clatter in the near, or perhaps even the distant, future fell only about an inch short of the exact and precise center of the plate that had clattered on the scratched wooden table she had made out of steel. As the plate took its own limitless, infinite time clattering, she noticed that it was clattering and that its curvilinear designs were slightly off center. The amount of time, which, of course, is relative, seemed statistically insignificant when one takes into consideration the fact that the plate took its own limitless, infinite time clattering, which, however, was still enough time for her to notice it was clattering and that its curvilinear designs were slightly off center. The fork, which was next to the plate with approximately 12 or 13 curvilinear designs, had been clattering long before the plate had even thought (if plates have the time and ability to think in such a way as to produce thoughts) of clattering. She, on the other hand, might not have noticed that the fork had been clattering long before the plate, had the fork not been associated with, and perhaps even the cause of, the clattering of the plate, but since she had noticed the clattering of the plate and had managed to associate this clattering with the clattering of the fork she was astounded to find herself realizing that it was possible for one clatter to have caused the other. After much thought on the matter, she understood the way in which a clatter may create a clatter.

We were quite rebellious little intellectualists back then.
