Rats Ate My Homework

Nepalese University students were told that rats had eaten their unmarked exam papers which were being kept at their local police station for security, but were inadvertently placed in a store room infested with rats, a police official said.

"The exams were two and half months ago. We kept the answer papers in a secure room. But a few days ago we discovered that some of them had been eaten by rats," said police inspector Ram Prakash Chaudhary. "We told the university officials about the problem straight away. But they only came to pick up the papers today, after the news came out."

The Rising Nepal newspaper said the papers had been stored in an old building with a leaking water pipe, and accused Tribhuvan - the country's oldest and biggest university - of "utter negligence".

A suprising result for the Students of Tribhuvan who found their exams enjoyed by rats rather than markers. A reminder to Macquarie University too reinforce its exam security and not leave essays for two and half months in a rat infested room.
