Hmm...
A group of students just came into the library dressed as Captain Cook, a couple of sailors and a number of "aborigines" (white kids wearing a hell of a lot of body paint).
They posed in front of our model of the Endeavour and asked me to take their photo, before trundling out of the library again.
Aparently, it's some sort of "dress up for college" dare (ah, residential colleges - what strange rituals they inflict on their residents).
Three thoughts immediately came to mind:
1) That's an impressive amount of work for a dare
2) I'm counting every single one of them as statistics (under "other")
3) They probably should get beaten up in the car park - but they probably won't.
