Yesterday a pulp fiction loving hacker broke into the Trinity College Dublin website, adding a new professor to the school–Conan the Barbarian.
The post has since been removed, but the Guardian pointed us to a cached version of the page that will immortalize Conan’s brief tenure at Trinity College.
Here’s more from the fake entry: “He completed his PhD, entitled ‘To Hear The Lamentation of Their Women: Constructions of Masculinity in Contemporary Zamoran Literature’ at UCD and was appointed to the School of English in 2006, after successfully decapitating his predecessor during a bloody battle which will long be remembered in legend and song. In 2011/12, he will be teaching on the following courses: ‘The Relevance of Crom in the Modern World,’ ‘Theories of Literature,’ ‘Vengeance for Beginners,’ ‘Deciphering the Riddle of Steel’ and ‘D.H. Lawrence.’ He strongly objects to the terms of the Croke Park agreement and the current trend for remaking 1980s films that he believes were perfectly good enough in the first place.” (Image via, link via)
