Seriously, I'm writing my paper. I just need to share with you all two things that tickled me today:
1. The upcoming novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which "features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen's classic novel to new legions of fans."
I think I might just have to preorder that.
2. University of Michigan investigates professor's involvement in prostitution case with law student. It's a bit tl;dr to post the whole thing here (although it is well worth the read), so I'll just give you a quick run-down of the best parts:

- the student was prostituting herself on Craigslist to help pay law school tution
- she "reluctantly agreed to allow Eliav [the professor] to strike her buttocks with a belt, but got upset when he slapped her in the face twice"
- "The rarity of how the case began - with a law student showing up at the police department's front desk to report she was assaulted while committing a crime herself-was not lost on investigators. "Perhaps she should have cracked a legal textbook before coming in to the police station to talk about this," Ann Arbor Detective Sgt. Richard Kinsey said."
- he paid her $300, which he insists was just a "token"
- he answered the add because he wanted to experiment sexually
