Most of our student life consisted of partying every now and then to let off some steam and wake up to a very miserable hangover. However, this one university student from the US did so much more than any normal intoxicated human can. He designed an entire frickin’ airplane and had no recollection of it the next morning!
Sounds like something I could use for all my drunken nights: waking up to my assignments being done.
Mark, a mechanical engineering student from Michigan Tech University had one too many drinks one night came home “in a drunken sway” around 11.30pm after drinking a ton of rum and vodka-mixed drinks.
Keith Fraley, his roommate witnessed the whole episode.

The roomie tweeted a picture of Mark’s designs, with the caption, “So my roommate came back last night and doesn’t remember designing an entire f*cking airplane” which has since gone viral, but Mark has chosen to keep his identity a secret so as not to jeopardise his future career prospects.
Apparently the drunken student made a beeline for his textbooks and, a couple of hours later, he re-emerged to tell Keith all about his designed ekranoplan craft (“a high speed aircraft that floats above the water”) and the calculations behind it, sounding a bit like “a slurred robot”.
Keith said, “He fell asleep in his chair and woke up about an hour later basically questioning his sanity because of the immense amount of work that was in front of him, with no memory of his motivation to do it.”
The next morning, he did not remember any of this but after reading over his designs in a sober state, Mark confirmed that it looks as though his invention would work, so he’s now going to try and put it into practice!
