thats funny

but worth a try IMO, after all his laptop has been taken from him without his consent so suppose he has nothing to lose by looking like a complete idiot liar

i'm glad the thief wasn't caught b/c of the prof ridiculous lies. both of them are jackasses (but the prof might be more of one since he thought he could scare the thief with these inane lies)

Hey man I graduated from UCLA, that's what pubic school edumucation brings you. Esp from a UC.

Why would the student watch the webcast if he has the final?

because it wasn't a final exam he jacked- it was a midterm. we havn't started taking our finals yet.

As for the UC comment, being from UCLA, you're attending like the 25th best school in the nation. Now I know that rankings aren't the ultimate authority on college quality, but if just being in a UC qualifies it as a horrible school, than how would you perceive all the private schools ranked below UCLA?

Ranking is BS. UCLA is good for sciences, but other than that no money flows to the other side of campus. Public schools just suck ballz in general.
