A Bit of Excitement
The fire brigade just rolled in. Seems somebody started a blaze in the building next door. I'd expect something like this in the Biology Lab or even the machine shop, but in the Math Department? Oh well. Hope it doesn't shut down any of our routers that are about twenty feet away from the smoke cloud.

Come to think of it, I believe we're into final exams this week. The fire may have been a classic ruse to get out of doing a test. That's something I'd expect from a math student who didn't spend enough time on linear equations.

Usually it's a pulled fire alarm or a bomb threat. Haven't had the pleasure of an actual fire during exams. Might be interesting. ;-)
