* “It’s absolutely outrageous,” a UCLA psychiatrist tells the NY Post about NBC’s new social experiment. “These are real human beings, not dolls…[In three days of filming] enough psychological damage could be done to affect them for the rest of their lives.”

 

* “There is a clique of professors in Hyde Park who are ‘alien’ to working-class interests,” author Thomas Frank reports. No wonder Gawker is asking if the right-wing UChicago faculty living in Obama’s neighborhood are going to make him look bad.

 

* Fire her up! An English prof at UConn can do “absolutely ridiculous things on the campfire grill.” Hmmmm.  Now you've got us thinking...

 

* “I guess I can't trust you guys to write papers on something scandalous. Good thing I brought a pornographic film for later.”  Overheard in New York has one-liners from the guys with leather patches on their elbows at Fordham and St. John's.

 

* Lance Armstrong can’t keep it in his pants and an NYU philanthropy professor says the hunky rider “should be concerned about the impact of how he dates on the seriousness of his legacy.”

 

* Dlisted has named this Angelo State English professor the Hot Slut of the Day!

 

* Umm, pebblesLaurie Mintz, associate psych prof at Mizzou explained to the Daily News what to do if your significant other can’t remember to turn off the bathroom light.
