Dissecting the blackboards in porn

What is the internet for, if not uber-specific blogs such as Blackboards in Porn? This deliciously safe-for-work blog takes a photo of a blackboard in a porn scene, along with fully-clothed performers, and analyzes the information for accuracy, issuing a grade from 1-10. Subjects are varied: chemistry, math, music, English, and history have all been covered thus far. Impressive!

It’s hard to choose a favorite, really, because each analysis is pretty hilarious. But I did really enjoy this one:

The title Imperial Russia 1609-1752 is something of a misnomer. The Russian Empire wasn’t founded until 1721 — before that date it was the Tsardom of Russia. In fact, the date range chosen for module 3271 does seem somewhat arbitrary. The main study question is rather awkwardly posed, using a mixture of tenses, but is open enough to stretch the more able students.

Handwriting is rather sloppy — all caps, sometimes at a rather wild angle, and with one map label illegible. The student pictured has been lucky to find Professor Stefano in, as his office hours are somewhat idiosyncratic. But this could be a result of education cutbacks, or flexitime due to his personal circumstances, so will not affect the overall score. (In fact, his work-life balance may be under threat as he feels the need to specify that he does not work at weekends.)

Overall: a very good effort – 7/10.

I learn something new each time this blog is updated, so I hope it will be around for a long time! The blog author is looking for user submissions, so if you have a picture of a blackboard in porn (SFW or otherwise), email blackboardsinporn AT googlemail.com.
