Title: College classes canceled for Portal 2
Post by: TheJuggler17 on April 20, 2011, 02:30:33 PM

check this out, apparently some college professor canceled his classes because of "the portal flu"
Because so many of his students were calling in reporting they were sick, which he knew was because of Portal 2 being released, and couldn't make it to class, he just canceled classes altogether.
Ha - maybe it was all so he could play it too!

I took a personal day at work. Luckily I work at the kind of company where they don't ask why I needed one.

All you would have to say is that you were involved in a classified test of experimental hardware in a secret facility. They'd understand.
