Oh my goodness...the number of times I've used the "My computer crashed last night" excuse. I'm pretty sure every teacher knows the excuses, but if you're lucky they just let you off anyway. Unfortunately...it sucks when your computer ACTUALLY crashes. I guess that's why at university they have a "no-technological-problems-will-be-accepted" thing in their assignments. :)

The ones I used most frequently are 1. My printer ran out of ink 2. The internet wasn't working 3. The electricity went out and I had already used all of the battery on my laptop.
