School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

BASIC?You were lucky.
300 lines of COBOL, each line on a punched card, to print a report with list of all the first division football teams on it sorted by points.
And then the stack of punched cards falls out of your bag on the bus.

My father fondly recalled this one recently...Was chatting about some ww2-era cryptography and he remembered that one day, while attending university, he'd seen a street basically covered in white punch cards.
Obviously someone's massive project had been been carried along in a box, they'd tripped and sent the cardset fucking *everywhere*. An entire two-lane street and sidewalk wound up looking like there'd been a freak snowstorm.
Gotta laugh...
