The worst fears of several law students materialised on Monday when a library desk collapsed and exploded under the stress of what witnesses described as a “genuinely abhorrent amount,” of biology materials.

It is believed that Biology majors, Ross Hamilton (19), and Nick Shepard (22), were responsible for the catastrophic failure, which left six surrounding students hospitalised.

The Obiter understands that neither Hamilton nor Shepard were present at the time of the collapse, as both were comfortably engaged in a three hour lunch break at Merlo. There is no suspicion of foul play.

Concerned law students have come in their tens to condemn the incident, which some have described as an act of terrorism. “This is exactly why I wanted to get these jabronis out of the law library!” shouted second year Thomas Van Schmidt to a nodding crowd of like-minded students in the Moot Court.

“We need action! I didn’t work so hard at Grammar to get an OP1 just so I had to share a library with these cun- I mean, just to be shrouded in shrapnel from a collapsing desk!”

In aid of his cause, Schmidt has taken a retaliatory shit on the floor of the Level 4 Bathrooms - an act he has pledged to repeat daily until the University takes action against the desk thieves.

Godspeed Schmitty, godspeed.
