It is illegal to chase a duck down the high street in terling (a village in essex) between midday and 3pm on sunday afternoons.
Urban Myth?
In a college down in Essex, some smart @rse found an old law saying that he could take some mead and some food into the exam.
The college said that the modern equivalent was a McDonalds and a coke. So there he sat, in the exam, with his food, all the other students glaring jealously at him.
Come reults day and he wasnt too impressed, he'd failed that module. After hunting around, he finally found his lecturer, who told him why he'd failed.
"Im sorry son, but you failed because you didnt bring you sword to the exam"
Moral: Dont be a smart alec!

True Story or Urban Myth?
A Japanese student was taking his final exams, but other students around him noticed that for the first hour and a half the student hadn't actually moved, he'd just sat there staring at the paper in front of him.
Then with half an hour to go, the student spent the next 30 minutes sharpening two pencils, slowly and meticulously, after which he inserted one pencil into each nostril and then slammed his head down onto his desk thereby killing himself.
I heard it was a true story....

With my old uni. they had a rule, if you died before you completed all your exams but you had performed well enough in your coursework, you could get your degree awarded posthumously.
Which I thought was a great idea, I just wasn't ready at the time to take them up on that particular ruling.
So in theory, you could guess your way through the first exam, then die before taking the second, and get your degree that way.
I wouldn't advise it though. Getting to the graduation ceremony in a coffin is not easy.

Just once? Damn! I've got 2 exams!
It was a complete guess!!
Still, i may try that for my uni exams in a few months. If a guess works in here, it should work in an exam, eh?
