lol.

Once while studying depth perception and spatial awareness my class had a visit from the head mistress' husband who happened to have a fake eye. We tested his ability to catch a ball etc, and he did really well, much better than us with eye patches on, then he let us look at his recovery chats which mapped his progress in these areas over 10 years since he lost his eye.

He told us that the gap where his eyeball had been had been filled in by flesh, and that he could still move his false eye slightly with the muscles remaining.

One of the questions at the end.

"Oh wow, can you see out of the false eye"

DUH! And this from a VCE (finishing/graduating year) student also studying science and phys ed.

Found a new one today:

"I know the country is in Drought, but why should that affect Melbourne's water?"

Because obviously, Melbourne is in another country.

New Zealand, maybe, where I'm told water falls mysteriously from the sky...

Water from the sky? This is too bizarre....

Maybe you guys will get some of our rain/snow now that it has FINALLY left us. The sky was beautiful and clear all day today, and there was this weird bright shiny thing in the sky…

It was probably just an aircraft. (or a shiny frisbee)

What is it with uni students and weirdness???

".....and there was this weird bright shiny thing in the sky… "

Or maybe a flock of geese...

shiny geese? Pre-glazed, oven ready?

"What is it with uni students and weirdness???"

Well, there are a lot of drunken parties on our campus, and recently someone got busted for selling drugs…

Almost 40 years on and you lot still can't come up with anything original!

Admittedly you attend somewhat more lectures than we did and I suspect that a few of you could even get your course name right most of the time. I blame improving standards among the young. :-)

Well, I didn't say I participate in these things! My idea of a fun Saturday night is to sit around and knit with friends!

MuseSusan must use very big knitting needles.

groan…

*snort*

Only, you mustn't. Not if someone just got busted.

You're all very cruel. I think it's quite sad that Susan has to knit her own friends :(

Not at all! It's very convenient! I'm working on a sweater for the winter, and it will be extra-warm because of all the love, plus if I get bored I'll always be wearing friends to talk to!

Could you knit me one? *hopeful*

I'm knitting with some mates in the Highway Patrol. Would you like a pull-over?

*groan*

You're too good at that!

xmorpheus--send me some of your friends, and I'll make one for you! (Unless you want me to use my friends, but somehow I don't think it will be the same…)
