A burlesque troupe does its thing {thanks, The Baltimore Sun}

From today’s b, the paper

take it off!
It’s perfect reason to tear up that college diploma.

Burlesque University, headed by “Headmistress” Kitty Victorian, is now enrolling in Baltimore.

Those hoping for clothes-peeling wisdom can take the six-week Burlesque 101 course, starting Saturday at Experimental Movement Concepts (3618 Falls Road).

Clearly Ms. Victorian means burlesque business. The press release insists she’ll have you “bumping and grinding like a legend.”

The course concludes with a “Graduation Glory” performance, when students show off their, uh, knowledge. We hear they do the same thing at Harvard. Register at burlesqueuniversity.com or call 202-518-7569.

shockingly, gandhi sex talk upsetting

Students at University of Delhi, India, are calling for the removal of a professor who has been narrating tales of Mahatma Gandhi’s sex life during class, according to Indo-Asian News Service.

Ten male students who heard the tales are accusing professor B. N. Ray of “sexual harassment” because of his storytelling.

“He may have good knowledge in his field … . However, his classes were intimidating. I mean, who discusses Gandhi’s sex life in introductory classes?” a protesting student said.

So, Gandhi sex life should be reserved for upper level?

police track concubine enlister
A man has been banned from the University of New Hampshire campus after police said he was trying to recruit female students as “concubines,” according to AP.

Bert Allen, a registered sex offender, posted a two-page flyer in the library to enlist women to sign lifetime contracts.

In return, they’d get gifts and help with school. Allen was sent a letter by police saying he’d be charged with trespassing if he shows up again. Maybe try Craigslist next time, Bert?

taking the ‘i’m too tired’ excuse too far
Sex makes people tired, but does it make them amnesiacs?

A new study, conducted at a Spanish hospital and published in Spanish-language journal Revista de Neurologia, suggests there could be a link between sex and temporary amnesia that occasionally ensues after the deed.

As reported on world-science.net, the study said patients were brought to a hospital in the United Kingdom about 30 minutes-two hours after having sex, and each had amnesia lasting from two-six hours.

The journal noted the first medical reports of a sex-amnesia link came in 1979.

michael cera: reluctant sex symbol
According to a recent story in Newsweek, “Superbad” star Michael Cera is a “hottie.”

To be fair, the story also says the 20-year-old lives in Toronto with his parents, is “not familiar with free weights” and has a “beaky nose” and “oddly tufted haircut.”

There are however, the story points out, several fan sites dedicated to his hot geekdom. One even has a poll on his hottest nerdy feature, with the current winner being “pasty white deodorant-clad legs.”

At a Canadian press conference earlier this month, Cera seemed stumped. “A sex symbol?” Cera said. “Like, I symbolize sex?” Apparently so.
