So that plagarist story is apparently an (awesome) April Fools joke.
I just read this update at boingboing:
“Update: It’s an April Fool’s Day hoax. Shannon sez, “the student doesn’t exist, that school is a Christian school (that doesn’t teach a course on Hinduism), and it’s hosted on a comedy troupe’s site that’s trying to promote it’s new show, and their webmaster is spamming blogs with their story under a variety of fake names.”
Oh well. Still a good story.

Fished in, fished in!
As was I. Not very sporting to have an AF joke in March…

You’re the last person in the world to practical joke, aren’t you Jinxy?
Doesn’t a little part of you laugh at how well it was pulled off?

No, because it wasn’t that clever. That’s what would have happened if someone had been stupid enough to do such a thing.
I’ll give him an A for realism.
D- for humor.
