Probably the craziest thing that happened at my Uni was that we had this "moat" around my campus dorm that was absolutely foul, and we always used to joke about how disgusting it was and dare each other to swim it, then in my third year scientists actually found an as-yet-undiscovered new virus in there:

Wow so you're university literally could have been covid before covid?

Luckily this particular virus poses no danger to humans apparently. Still, it's one of the largest viruses ever discovered:

That's pretty awesome to be fair. Much cooler than my story. Our first years are idiots.
