That's just hilarious.

The Benorus Murphyrea has a thick, wolly coat on its head which has been known to scare small children and take over the world.

My dad took it. I think it was after one of my ridiculously long shifts,but I'm not sure. I'm so lucky I don't have them anymore.

I think it's genetic. He can sleep on office chairs, I've been known to sleep under a desk in the computer lab when doing an all-nighter, using my shoes as a pillow.

mmm not quite, I for one thought that it was quite common to sleep anywhere and everywhere. At school it was disastrous, we had an abundance of girls to lean on and/or use as a pillow. But at uni so far I've only slept in every lecture theatre I'm in and on the library floor which, let me tell you is incredibally dirty.
The only thing stopping me from buying cushions and sleeping on the back seat of my car is my lack of finances...

John DT and I once ended up lying down outside med block on the concrete path for about 15 minutes just because we were too lazy to stand.
