3 HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR DODO ACAD-PAD DOODLING Special facilities have been provided in the design of the Dodo ACAD-PAD for this essential activity. The Dodo ACAD-PAD encourages you to doodle creatively and thereby preserve the covers of nearby library books, café tables, train/bus head-rests, college walls etc. Those at a loss for inspiration will find suggestive hints to quicken their imagination on every diary page. A blank, or nearly blank, space is also provided for this purpose on facing pages. FURTHER USES FOR THE DODO ACAD-PAD Finished sheets can be torn out and are especially suitable for making paper boats, darts, book-markers or tapers for lighting a barbecue. If folded into eight, a Dodo ACAD-PAD page comes in handy for fixing up a rickety table or stuffing into a shaky sash-window. The most attractively doodled pages make ideal wallpaper for the barer halls of residence, double up as wrapping paper for any occasion and can also be put to good use as a more personal type of Christmas card. In the event of losing one s keys it is inadvisable to use one s Dodo ACAD-PAD to wedge open the front door, as this may leave both diary and household exposed to the possibility of theft. The Dodo team of social researchers calculates that for over-active and under-inspired students alike, armed with the Dodo ACAD-PAD they are: 96% more likely to remember which subject they are reading, 67% more successful at remembering the times and days of their lectures (regardless of attendance) and at least 5% better at remembering that the rubbish day has changed and that goldfish have never liked vodka. INSTANT INVISIBLITY The Dodo ACAD-PAD can be held up to head height and is made to measure (one size fits all) for immediate concealment of the holder at any given moment, particularly useful in cafés, library, and/or middle of the street for the avoidance of any number of tricky situations. It is a perfect hand held disguise for those unwanted/unexpected encounters.

4 The Dodo technique for self-concealment is much quicker than growing a beard I should know, I ve tried both (Hairy Harry Bath University) ACADEMIC ATHLETICS The Dodo ACAD-PAD is equally capable of being employed for more athletic purposes. Sportsmen and women whose urge is to bat, swing or throw anything they touch can be reassured of the Dodo s flexibility in any number of these gaming roles. Particularly popular among more reckless students is the on-campus competitive Dodo skimming activity, which is more often, simply referred to as frisbee for fools. INSECTICIDE The Dodo ACAD-PAD also makes an ideal weapon for swatting flies. Held flat on the palm of the hand, it can be used as a missile against wasps and mosquitoes on the ceiling. What every lazy and disorganised student needs to do-do well at college. The Dodo ACAD-PAD is like a loyal companion. If I take it to the pub I can rely on it to help me find my way home again. (It also makes a perfectly good beer mat.) One student famously pointed out that I would be up a certain well-known creek without my Dodo ACAD-PAD to use as a paddle! HOW TO CHAIN YOUR DODO ACAD-PAD TO YOUR BICYCLE OR BAG Any reputable ironmonger will supply you with a length of thin chain. A DODO-PADLOCK can be obtained from us. Price $329.99, including postage.
