It was for that class, because in that class, the homework was/is always due the next day.

Here's the article:

Quote:
 
High council decides on stupid questions

by Bimbo Coles

    In a landmark case, the High Council decided that the question: “Is the homework due tomorrow?” can be called a stupid question.  However, the Council also stated that only Mr. Huang can call it a stupid question.  For a student to call it a stupid question would be a direct violation of the primary rule of the Kingdom: “Respect every breathing and non-breathing thing in the classroom.”
    Since the Constitution clearly states that “there are no stupid questions in math”, the public was eager to hear how the Council would interpret the phrase.  Council member #2 said: “The Council interprets the phrase ‘in math’ to refer to things pertaining to the subject of math.  The question we are judging was not a math question.  It was a procedural question.  Since it is obvious to anyone and his mother that homework is due the next day unless otherwise stated, the question was a stupid question.”


From kindomof109.net in the 109 times archives. I think it was November 2005, but I may be wrong...

Because my lab partner last year, Lani (Well, my second lab partner. My first one was Michael), was in Mr. Huang's class, and I stole her copy of the 109 times.

It makes perfect sense to me. I guess I just comprehend more than you more easily. And Michel, Lani let me read it, I used "stole" in the sense of "snatched it from her, but was soon given permission."

You were only given permission because you stole it from her, and at gun point she reluctantly gave you permission.
