Yep. I'm a current student and the thought of a professor doing some of the things listed here is comical.

I'm an adjunct now and was a grad student, and doing some of these things is actually dangerous: http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Angel-Novel-Francine-Prose/dp/006... or http://chronicle.com/article/Sexual-Paranoia/190351/. Most of the time of course they won't be dangerous, but it only takes one person to really fuck up a career.

When I was a student at South Dakota State University in South Dakota and also when I was a student at Massey University in New Zealand, a lot of the "comical" things from this post were fairly common.

Don't be so dismissive.
