Well, the day had finally come when everyone in all of my classes had to write a written exam. Each one chose a biology topic and submitted it to me, where I must grade it. The sheer monotony, oh how I hate grading papers!

Nonetheless, Penguin Academy doesn't pay me to sit around and whine, so I got to working.

I began reading the first few papers and realized a strange reccurecne. There, right in the middle of the essay, was the phrase " CONVERT TO WALRISM". I was confused, but since it had a line drawn through it, I was required by law not to count it as a part of the exam. I have to admit, though, reading "as the aging process continues, the penguin eventually requires a CONVERT TO WALRISM cane to assist in his movement.".

I dismissed it, but after grading about twenty five papers, all with the crossed-out phrase "CONVERT TO WALRISM", I got suspicious that it was organized. I have to admit, I was chuckling quite a bit by this time, impressed at the organization and excellence in carrying out this prank.

Taking a bit of time off, I went online and did a search to find out the organizing. I discovered an obscure article urging everyone to write CONVERT TO WALRISM on their essay as a mass prank.

It was quite a funny site, particularly because of this zany video spoofing the Walrus' intentions: frame|center

Children do the craziest things.... for once, I'm glad for what they did... it gave me the inspiration to finish grading all three hundred essays by the time the day finished. I had never done that before, mainly because the boredom forced me to go to home. Not today, of course! I hope the kids do something like that next year, too!

To all of you who participated in the prank, and to the organizers, thank you for making this teacher's day. CONVERT TO WALRISM must be some sort of hip trend nowadays!

Thank you, --Professor Zlo Shroomsky
