Unsure of whether he was a part of a bad joke or a sad turning point in a student’s semester, Physics TA Rhian Paul reports that one of his students submitted a Ratty omelet order form in place of their recent problem set. “I realized they probably made a mistake when I found the 4”x5” slip of paper peaking out of the stack of normal pages,” said Paul, who remembers laughing before he realized the student hadn’t turned in anything besides a request for a whole-egg, tomatoes and mushrooms, hold-the-cheese omelet. “Maybe they were really tired, or just zoned out that whole day. Either way, there’s a dining worker out there who’s trying to use Newton’s third law to cook eggs.” At press time, Paul had given the problem set half credit like all the others.
