Good one, Dross! 
It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils. - Niels Henrik Abel.

"Bah" to me. 
Thank you for the correction - I keep forgetting I shouldn't use "it's" when it's being used as the possessive of "it". I just have this habbit of if it possesses something, it NEEDS an apostrophe somewhere! I shall quit it at some point.

Re: Best ever excuse for not handing in your physics homework
Dross, whenever you right 'its' think about what would make more sense out of the two; it is or its. This is very useful.
