Mysteriously last night was also the World Cup Final, which saw the French storming the Luzhniki Stadium a la Bastille Day. What cosmic force links these two momentous events, we\u2019re not entirely sure.<\/p>\n<p>Closer inspection revealed two people sitting in the front row, armed with a list of questions to ask their lecturer. They were astonished when told the answers could be found on the lecture slides. One person sitting in the shadowy back appeared to be intently browsing through The Iconic.<\/p>\n<p>The lecturer, Prof Richard Biggus, said, \u201cNo wonder this generation can\u2019t afford to buy houses. Too busy sleeping or eating avocados. Fifty years I\u2019ve been delivering this lecture and each year attendance keeps falling.\u201d When asked what changes he\u2019d made to his teaching style and lecture slides over the years, he appeared to be astonished at the suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of life were finally detected in Wallace Wurth close to 1pm. We approached one sleepy-eyed group of first-years who appeared to be in their pyjamas and asked their thoughts on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely outrageous. Should never have happened. They need to review this and take action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHear, hear,\u201d they chorused. \u201cFrance never deserved that penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We politely informed them we were not discussing the Final.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n                <div
