Challenge Fail

Yesterday, my philosophy of religion instructor said, "There were no takers, but next time, perhaps, some of you will take advantage of my generosity", which caught me as being rather odd. He hasn't really done anything, only offered to do something, and why, therefore, is he afforded a proclamation of said "generosity"? Maybe I'm wrong, but the grammar of the sentence would seem to suggest that I'm right. Anyway, before we delve too far into the woodwork of irrelevancy, let us plane the surface of generosity a little more. None of you inbreds took advantage of my fairly generous offer by telling me where this came from, and I'm ashamed. It extends forth, of course, from the depths of the Radiohead back catalogue: a rare cover version of a 1968 B-side by Can called The Thief. The lyrics, admittedly, are fairly unintelligible to all but the ardent auditory mystique, but here is the music none the less.
