College professors are combating a new method for cheating on tests. Students are training baby chicks to memorize facts and complex equations, then hide in the student’s hand and peck out the answers in Morse code.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Cheryl S.
Awwwww, that’s so stinkin’ cute – little critter just wants to be warm. AND to help its person pass exams.
I need one of those for Matrix Theory Math .. how much to rent one ?
Awwwwwww. Wants snuggles.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say AWWWWWWW!
I think awwwwww sums it up well. Leetle boirdee would have helped me relax while taking a test.
Hello, all. I just wanted to leave a note to say that me and my pets are ready to ride out the storm. I’ve written posts to last until Tuesday morning, and I’ll try to check in with you as the situation progresses. Good luck to all in harm’s way.
Be safe Mike!
The latest on Irma shows it moving closer to the western Florida coast and further from us on the east coast. But it’s increased in strength back to a 5 which isn’t good. We’re all tucked in and plan to wait it out like we did last year with Matthew. We weren’t told to evacuate as we’re inland and don’t live in a mobile home. Our son and daughter-in-law are here and did all the heavy work, bless them. Hopefully we’ll all be back up and running with no damage. Thinking good thoughts for all of us. Hopefully Jose will be kind to us and lose strength so we don’t have to put up with him also in a few days.
Good luck and keep us posted if you can.
You are the 2nd on the list for us, the Cutetropolian community who will be waiting for your signal that you are ok after the next few days. Mike, Flowerfan, anyone else? I imagine this will be the focus on tomorrow’s open thread. Virtual hug!
Thank you for the bulletin, Mike – sending safe thoughts to you and the ani-pals. If there’s anything we* can do to help, please holler!
*(folks in unaffected areas)
Keeping you, your pets and everyone else in the hurricane(s) path in our thoughts and prayers – stay safe. Please do, keep us posted as to how you’re doing, if you’re able.
Thanks for letting us know. If you’re able bulletins would definitely be appreciated.
Keeping you and all of Florida and Puerto Rico in my thoughts this weekend. Stay safe, peeps! (see what I did there?)
Good thoughts sent your way! This storm sounds like it’s gonna be a whopper and just hammer FL. Anyone who’s in the path of Irma, if you can’t evacuate, hunker down and stay safe.
Thanks for the update Mike. Sending good thoughts to you and everyone else down there that you all remain safe! ???
Please be safe. All of you.
All you Cutetropolian in Florida please let us know as soon as you can that you are OK, we will all be worried until we know that you and yours are safe.
Be safe and good luck!
This has been a bizarre couple of weeks. An 8.2 earthquake in Mexico, three mass coronal ejections and counting, gods know how many more hurricanes (there’s another forming after Jose), the west coast is on fire, and at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if interdimensional cephalopod invaders began a blitz on Washington. “May you live in interesting times” indeed.
I’ll pray for whoever needs it to whatever higher power is available.
I did a lot of cuddling of fluffy little chicks when I was a little girl on the farm. We sold eggs and bought new chicks every year to keep egg production up. I spent MANY hours sitting on a bag of chick feed in a nice warm brooder house with little fluffies and listened to their little peep-peeps for hours a day. Always cradling a little fuzzball on my lap as we both napped. If my folks couldn’t find me, all they had to do was come to the brooder house, and there I’d be. I’d love to do that even now as an 80 year old!! This little chick brought back lots of fond memories!!
That sounds idyllic.
I just hope he’s textbook-trained…
Stay safe, and thank you for the happiness you put into the world!
Stay safe Floridians, Puerto Ricans and everyone else in the path of these mighty storms. Please send updates whenever you can.
