Old Emus for Physics
It is time to reveal just a part of the series of innovations I have been introducing to the curriculum here in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex, since I became head earlier this year.
In order to develop further the problem-solving skills of students in the Department of Physics & Astronomy, I have decided that all modules OLD EMUS will henceforth be referred to by anagrams of their actual titles. For example, in the forthcoming Semester I will be teaching second-year students MONSTER DELICACY.
Among the other old emus to be taken by Year 2 students of SHY PICS are:
MANIAC MUNCH QUEST
UNFITTING COMIC SPICE
SPIN HISS SLICKLY
A TINSMITH’S DEPTH, SARCASTICALLY
ASTHMATIC MODE HALTED for SPICY SHITS
and for options there are
TRANSPLANTED ASS (compulsory for those into RACY SOPHISTS)
ATHEIST PSYCHIC LORE
This list does not include the compulsory A RICH SORT’S PLAYBOY.
I hope this clarifies the situation.

Well, that’s very well for you lot at the SUIT FOXINESS SURVEY.

Are things very different for YOU RUNTY VERSIFIERS?

No – in fact, our management have been pioneering obfuscation for some time in their communications.

Are you going to meet the GAZER ON LUGE in your lectures?

Shurely he’s on glue?

Ah, that time of year again.
Here in a A MINT THONG I’ll be teaching the ever-popular 3rd year course on EXCRETORY STEAMSHIPS, plus a compulsory 1st year module on developing problem-solving skills: ACTIVATE SQUISHY PINT.

I am now thinking of you in a mint thong.

Not sure how to respond to that, but I’ve just spotted another anagram for my 1st year course: EVICT THIS QUASI-PANTY. Maybe this is a sign to move on from A MINT THONG…

Do you have any STOUT LIAR there these days?
ps. If you don’t need the thong any more, perhaps you could put it on ebay?

Only in year one, but it’s becoming a challenge to find enough TROUTS with our ever-growing numbers. We also have weekly AERIAL ROBOTS of course.
I think I’ve grown to like A MINT THONG, so will probably stick with it for now…
