I have two anecdotes about this.DrClaude said:
A few years after I started teaching, I noticed a correlation between grandmother (very rarely grandfather) mortality and in-class hourly tests. So a week before the test I started telling the class, "It seems that grandmothers' deaths have something to do with my hourly tests. Now is a good time to call grandma and tell her that until the day of the test not to cross the street alone, to stay home as much as she can, and to eat bland food." Magically, grandmother mortality dropped to zero.
When I mentioned this to an older colleague, he remarked that it's a well-known correlation. He told me that it is good practice to call Student Services in the Dean's office and have them put the excuse on the record. Once a student claimed that his grandmother had died and it turned out that it was for the third time! Student Services called him in for an explanation since most people have only two grandmothers. The student mumbled something about the deceased being his widower grandfather's second wife who "was like a mother" to him. It didn't wash.
