Q "What would you do if you caught your dog eating your dictionary? A "Take the words right out of its mouth" It had to be said. |

I thought the original premise to offer this "dog" as an excuse was the absence of any homework, of any form, whatsoever. Therefore the "virus" needs no actual heuristics, only perceived, or real, malicious intent. I.e. It can just destroy, or could have destroyed, any files, not necessarily "homework" files. Ergo, any particular virus will do, as long as you have proof that it, the virus, exists on your machine. |

If one kid has her homework scrambled by '34frugle' and another has his homework deleted by 'configer01 that is one thing. But if all the kids that cannot present homework have had it eaten by The Dog, it is impressed upon the teacher that there is a truly marvellous enemy out there. |

As a tutor in university i can vouch for the level of imbecility of current excuses, so the transition will only be in terms of aesthetics. 'The dog ate my homework' has much more purity to it than any bungled up coinidences involving multiple server crashes and backup corruptions. |
