This. This is hilarious. I rarely read the Chronicle of Higher Ed, but I'm glad I tuned in today. It slayed me with "Adam...put up mankind's first justification: 'The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat' (Genesis 3:12)" and only got better. (I, uh, may have gone to join that Facebook group as soon as I finished reading.)

When some poor student of mine only turns in four bibliography entries instead of five and complains about the grade, I'll be ready. "You remember Lot's wife and how she got turned into a pillar of salt? Know why? Because she DIDN'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! At least I'm only taking ten points off."

You have students who come to you with too few bibliography sources? Now that's just a shame. I mean if there's one thing easy to fudge in a paper it's how many sources you have! You can always go and find an extra paper or book or two that argues what you're arguing and cite it. If you have students who are too lazy/ignorant to have figured this one out I just don't even know what to say.
