Joao Magueijo on life at Cambridge:

Regarding the more farcical implications of university law, however, I've heard that once during an exam a student caused consternation by invoking an obscure medieval statute wherein it is written that examinees have the right to one glass of ale. Confusion ensued, but in the end an enraged invigilator did rush to a nearby pub to honor the statute in cause. The clerks, however, took their revenge in due course, when after scouring the dusty pages of the book of statutes they finally decided to fine the student a large sum--for attending an exam without a sword.

-Joao Magueijo, Faster Than The Speed Of Light.

Just thought I share that....

Good one Abe

our school had an old rule about people of Indian or ethnic origins not being allowed in the south west corridors . It was 300 years old or something but a good friend of mine who just happened to be of indian decent used it for a good few months as a reason to be late in the mornings ,and skip classes. He did this for three months before they released an amendment to the rules. biggrin
