I invented my own runic script and would write all the German I was supposed to be learning on the covers of my notebooks, hidden in drawings of monoliths or spaceships or whatever. I would have these notebooks on the floor during tests and I would get perfect scores. Now I don't speak a fucking word of German except for what little I remember from Nightcrawler in the X-men comic books. Unglaublich!

Just like robbing a bank is (supposedly) much easier than it is to get away with it.
