Students at a Nepalese
University have suffered the
igominy of having their unmarked
but completed exam papers eaten
by rats.
The exams were delivered into
the hands of police officers, to
keep them safe until they could
be marked - however instead of
placing them in a secure
environment the officers put them
in a rat-infested storeroom.
It was only when officers walked
into the room two and a half
months later that they discovered
the academic pearls had been
gnawed on by rodents.
THE power of chemistry should
never be underestimated!
A Queensland man serving a
life sentence in prison for murder
has been busted breaking out of
his cell, using rudimentary
science to achieve his ends.
The man managed to escape the
bars of his cell window after months
of applying a salt water solution to
them and then buzzing them with
an electric current created by
attaching wires with electrical
tape, and inserting the other end
into a nearby power point.
The escape however was foiled
when a security guard got curious
about light coming from the cell
and decided to investigate.
The criminal was apprehended
whilst making his way through a
secondary meshed cage.
IT may be healthier to have
donuts, icecream and cakes for
breakfast than some cereals,
according to research released in
the UK this week.
A study commissioned by UK
firm mysupermakret.co.uk found
that Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut
Cornflakes and Coco Pops were
among the breakfast foods with
the highest sugar content - about
the same as a Viennetta dessert.
Coco Pops, for example, had
14.8g of sugar per 40g serving -
compared to a jam donut which
had 8.6g, and a scoop of vanilla
icecream which had 10g.
