Hey, I'm not just trolling for pageviews. That's a legitimate post title, although I am also trolling for pageviews.It seems that a Drexel University law professor accidentally sent her students a link to Pornhub. Above the Law has a good summary (work safe) and a penetrating analysis that is both intellectually stimulating and goes deep into the subject matter.
Most likely, she accidentally copied the wrong link then pasted it into her email to students. That happens, though thankfully not to me, yet. It would be even funnier if the text of her email could be taken as a double entendre related to the link. I'm imagining statements from your syllabus and instructions for assignments.
How to Make Your Accidental Porn Link even More Scandalous: A Top Ten List
10. Here are some examples of the technology gadgets that I will use in class to enhance your learning and enjoyment of the course subject matter.
9. The dean won’t let me change the date of our final exam. This link explains why my hands are tied.
8. This class is intellectually challenging. At first, you will be uncomfortable stretching yourself in new ways but I hope that by the end of the semester, you will come to enjoy the experience, as described in this video.
7. This link shows how you will complete your project in groups of 3 or 4.
6. These pictures illustrate examples of students with proper outfits and grooming for class.
5. Here are some activities that you and your lab partner will be performing together this semester.
4. I do not like cell phones ringing during class. This tutorial shows you how to set it to vibrate in your pocket.
3. As you research your essay topic, you may find that you change your position frequently. As the attached document explains, that is natural and healthy. Find a position that makes you feel comfortable.
2. The attached document describes how we will conduct your oral exam.
1. Arriving late to class is annoying and interrupts my presentation. The following tips can help you come when you are supposed to.
I hope you found this experience as satisfying as I did.
There went my morning coffee...all over my computer screen. Ben stop that, or I will have to spank you!

ReplyDelete"a penetrating analysis that . . . goes deep into the subject matter."
We're onto you, trying to slip that past as safe for work. In the privacy of my home, I only shot Cheerios through my nose.
Cheerios through the nose? You're into some really freaky stuff, OPH. But I'm not here to judge.
DeleteYou should see what I do with Grape Nuts. Actually, no.
DeleteBetter to spit-take Cheerios through the nose at home than to sneak a peak at CM during an "important" lunch meeting and risk coughing chicken Caesar salad onto one of my bosses.
Now I think about it, "Chicken Caesar" would be a great name for one of my bosses.
DeleteLike.
Delete"To get your juices flowing and simulate your thinking for your paper, here's a little video."
ReplyDeleteAstronomy: "Here's some reading on celestial bodies."
Intro Physics: "Triboelectricity is what I get when I rub my rod with this cloth." (Yes, I said this in lecture once.)
I tell students to avoid certain astronomy terms, because they make people giggle. These include: "the naked eye" (it's now "the unaided eye," since kids couldn't look at Sky & Telescope's web page on naked-eye astronomy since parental supervision software was flagging the word "naked"), "heavenly bodies," "occultations," and "Uranus" (pronounced you-RAN-us, not your-ANUS or URINE-us, as observed by no less than Carl Sagan himself).
DeleteI'll just leave this here...

ReplyDeleteThe diagram below illustrates the Perron-Frobenius theorem: almost all vectors are eventually attracted to the dominant subspace.
ReplyDeleteYou know you want to mention that theorem about not being able to comb the fur on a sphere flat without a part.
DeleteYes, but even better is Hawking's Theorem in Mathematical Cosmology: a black hole has no hair.
DeleteIn our case study, we will consider what makes some people pay for 12" when 7" is considered the standard.
ReplyDeleteAfter I commented above, I was called away to other tasks, during which it occurred to me that here was an opportunity to provide my own list of double entendres. I'll have to give it to you later.
ReplyDelete"This video will help illustrate how perspective changes the viewer's judgement of relative size and angle"
ReplyDelete"Watch this video on The Summer of Love and write a 200 word essay on how it relates to changing public perceptions of relations with Asia at this time. Make sure you discuss the effects on cross-racial relations between whites, Asians, and African-Americans and how positions changed over time."
Students often wonder about the origin of names for our ancient ancestors such as Homo erectus. This video explains that and more!
ReplyDeleteThis link addresses problems inherent in understanding evolution, such as why some periods get only scanty coverage and why most bones don't last very long.
ReplyDeleteHere's an interesting interpretation of the three witches in MacBeth. Pay particular attention to the costuming choices.
ReplyDeleteBen Dover's anthropological survey of the Farquinnell Islanders' putting-out system remains a classic. This link takes you to a previously unknown gag reel.
ReplyDeleteTwin Buttes volcanoes in California haven't experienced an eruption in over 10000 years. This video shows the kind of mess that the next explosion leaves on the Buttes when it finally comes again.
ReplyDeleteHa! Awesome!
DeleteI said I'd give it you later.
ReplyDeleteThis YooToob video clip demonstrates an active rear suspension system that can take a great deal of punishment. A Panhard rod allows for vertical travel with only some lateral motion.
In this clip, the transmission is mated to the engine. The input shaft is aligned to and inserted into the pilot bearing, followed by the nuts being torqued onto their studs in a star pattern.
This clip shows the ideal cycle. The piston is driven deep into the cylinder, decreasing the chamber volume and increasing both heat and pressure. The ignition results in a further rapid increase in pressure, which drives the piston back out of the cylinder. The increasing volume results in some cooling of the chamber, and at the bottom of piston travel, the residual pressure escapes through the open exhaust port, while fresh fuel and air are fed through the intake port. The piston is again driven into the cylinder, and the cycle repeats. Note that a lubrication system must be provided to minimize wear to the reciprocating and stationary components.
This next clip is just some people having sex.
Man, yours puts mine to shame.
DeleteThank you, but I almost gave up after I saw yours.
DeleteIt's like you say: Sometimes it just writes itself. The trick is finding the first few words.
So, I'm watching a baseball game as I'm reading these and commenting. The presenters were just commenting on how well the rookie pitcher was pounding the zone with good movement.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just writes itself.
Interestingly, even church email allows for such double-entendres. A week or two ago, I was asked whether I'd be willing to be a stripper on Maundy Thursday, and, in response to my affirmative reply, received directions for same (i.e. directions for stripping the church -- removing banners, paraments, flower arrangements, candles, etc. at the end of the Maundy Thursday service, in preparation for Good Friday).
ReplyDeleteIn another email exchange about the same time, I was described as experienced [in setting up communion].
Yes, we snicker about these things. And no, sadly, it did not occur to me to check what ads gmail served up in conjunction with these messages (or do they even do that anymore? If so, I've learned to tune them out entirely).
Wow, I leave the page for a single day and already I'm late to join in.
ReplyDeleteLord have mercy, I've had my share of accidental porn, though not in the form of email communique. I used to (and I emphasize "used to") supplement certain math lessons with videos that I found online. However, rather than copy and email myself the link, I would just remember what I googled to get the video.
So one day, I was in the middle of the lecture and had the elmo projector fired up and decided to show the class a video so I googled the topic and clicked "videos". While my video was on the list, there was also in all its glory an image with a link: "Transexual shemales 69".
Oops. From then on, I decided that if I was going to use the internet in the classroom, there would be no searches involved.
