If they were real scientists they could make a nitrating solution and treat the paper plates in it before use.
That way all the washing up could be done in a flash.
(Yeah, it requires scientific knowledge to appreciate that joke.)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain saying something like:
Heh. Reminds me of the student in Aberdeen who lived on porridge for a term. Carted off to the ED suffering from malnutrition, iirc.
It could have been bacterial, if he didn't thoroughly clean the porridge drawer at the end of each term.

Assuming he took them with milk which is the traditional way he should have survived quite well. Proper porridge of course - not the ready rubbish.
you could perhaps dunk the weetabix as you would a biscuit in your tea if you bought milk in cartons and openend them all the way across the top. Or perhaps cut the weetabix's in half lenghtways first so you could fit them through the top of a bottle. So many possibilites!
Good. Does she know how to wash up though?
Bet she does!
Mary
Quite.
There's also a lack of capitals.
Mary

But what about the next day?
Some of us do have it ...

Hoyuss, very important is porridge drawer hygiene and lining the drawer with greaseproof paper, not old copies of the Sun.
or even the Sunday Post.

ED?
Erectile Dysfunction??
What's that to do with porridge?
Mary
I think it depends how stiff you make it.

Mary's probably had her moments...
You know students... always keen to get their oats.
Yes, when we go camping, that's one of her chores. At home she knows how to load the dishwasher. ;-)
All the best ..

Or the knife used to cut it into slices.
She obviously has wise parents. I wish her well.

And she will clearly expect her 'wise parents' to supply her with a flat that has a dishwasher.
Wasn't like that in my day
