Re: Rec for the new decade

Heeee! Actually, the actor wasn't on my radar at all before I asked [livejournal.com profile] corchen to recommend me a PB for this book charrie I was going to app. Tall, long blond hair, handsome, manly, not too young -- yep, he fit the bill. --- And then you looked at the info page, I guess, and found that not only is he not Buliwyf, he is rather evil, and at least a ruthless killer who will sex up women and then shoot them through the eye? Better avoid Urquhart, then.-

As for the professor, there was a story being told at the university here in Munich about a professor of Medieval Latin a few decades back (must have been the 1920s, so could find out which one it was, but am too lazy now) who tried to ignore female students because he thought it was not a good thing, and women belonged in the kitchen, not in a lecture hall. So instead of 'Ladies and gentlemen,' he started all his lectures and seminars and whatnot just with 'Gentlemen!', ignoring the female students utterly. I don't know what he did with their term papers, but as a German professor of the time, I guess he had enough flunkies to foist off grading papers to them, especially grading the papers by female students. So, because he did that, the students played a trick on him. For one of his weekly lectures, none of the male students turned up. At all. So he went up to the pulpit, was ready to go 'Gentlemen!', looked at the students, found no gentlemen, and went majorly 'Errrrrrmmmmmmm'. From then on, the female students did exist.-
