’Arseholes’ not aerosols depleting the Ozone

For years scientists thought they knew what caused the hole in the ozone layer, but now it appears they could have been wrong — it may have been "arseholes" that were responsible for the problem.

That was the answer given by one university student in an exam paper, according to his tutor, who suggested that the befuddled scholar may have been thinking of “aerosols”.

And while environmentalists are pondering the state of the Earth’s atmosphere, historians may be questioning all they know about Hitler’s role in the Second World War after one student reliably revealed that the dictator’s role in the conflict “is often overlooked”.
