I don't suppose it would work if you sent a garbage file with the same file name and claim it got corrupted in transit?

My professor's laptop ate my homework.

But IW would have to send something truly evil to trash his HD.

And IW would never do that (I think).

I might just have to ask for a last minute extension which I hate doing. And it will only delay me getting started on the next one.

Not that I'll admit to ringing academic departments on behalf of students and saying that I definitely have such a file in my posession and would the mind giving said student an extension.
