:laugh: Wow, a drunk student triggers the fire alarm at night. That must be the first time in history it has happen!
Watched code never compiles.
This is the third time it has happened here the previous two times happened at midnight and approx. 1:15 AM. Each time same thing, drunk freshman, fake ID, and so on and so forth. There have been some actual fires, such as when a kid caught some oatmeal he was cooking on fire. :doh: A girl also burnt popcorn, which prompted someone to activate the alarm. I still remember one of my finals at high school, when an explosion in a chemistry lab set off the fire alarms. I was in a room at the other end of the hallway. The school was emptied in record time.

No wonder American's can't drink. 21? 16 in Britain is the legal age for alcohol in restaurants. 18 in pubs.

FYI, as long as they are not IN the room with the bar, children can legally be bought alcohol from the age of 5 as it is an 'off sale'. No Landlord would ever allow this though.

A student at Purdue came into Meridith residence hall at 3:30 AM and spontaneously decided to set off the fire alarms. I was fast asleep and fell out of my bed when the alarms went off (those things are LOUD and can break your eardrums). :mad::mad::mad: From what I have heard, the student (a freshman) was drinking underage with a fake ID. Not sure if that is what happened (that 'rumor' pops up whenever there is an unplanned fire drill), but if it is, that student will be kicked out. We also had a severe thunderstorm last night, as well. How was your night? Need... Sleep... :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

I managed to have a great night out - fooled all the bar staff with my fake id. I was a bit miffed when I got back to my room as every lightswitch I hit set off the firealarms. Anyway the good news is someone stopped the alarms and I had a nice long restful night of sleep :laugh:

I hope I'm not the only one who read the title as 'Early Morning Excriment' but it does sound like you had a crappy night. :-\
:laugh: I was sure someone would do that! I actually typod the Excitement into what you read, but caught it before posting.

I wonder what a fake ID has anything to do with it... Do you purduers not have parties around there? Is it really that hard to get alchohol that you must have a fake ID? Anyways, thats part of living in the dorms. Get use to it or get an apartment. Dorm life is fun if you make it fun. Yes some people will be inconsiderate elephants. Don't let them ruin it for you. Cause it will just set you up for not being able to deal with said people after you graduate.

Yes, technically the pub garden is not deemed to be a place that serves alcohol.

:eek: Noooooooooooooooooooooo! I've checked it out: the age of consent is 16 and voting age is 18. How can you acheive any of these things if all parties are dead-sober?

Whilst I admire your candour, I feel that it was slightly too much information.

I know this is not the English language forum. But while we're in the subject could a native speaker explain the various 'knock out' meaning to the crowds of non-native speakers that read this forum. Basically after what you said/shown I don't feel the urge to ask a colleague.

knock out = fighting reference -- to hit (in boxing context, to punch) and make recipiant unconcious. Generally implies that the recipiant doesn't get back up to fight more before the fight is declared over. knock out = baseball reference -- to knock the ball out of the park. A better hit than a mere home run. While in baseball it isn't materially better, it is used in other contexts to refer to an even better success than a simple really good success. The referenced picture could be interpreted in both ways :)
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Well that means I am not alone. The best fire alarm I remember from my Uni days was when we were building switch mode power supplies, the metal case of a cap flew off and hit the fire alarm break here panel. Lots of "miffed" people wandering around muttering about wind tunnel time & chamber time. Miss those day (and cheap beer) :)
