Best thing to happen to nerds since pocket protectors

There's a Palm Pilot of a different sort at issue when the future rocket scientists and engineers of MIT click on geekporn.com. And for quite possibly the first time, they're walking around saying, "Check out the differential equations on that babe." (Actually, it's a theorem scrawled on that woman's naked body, but the MIT brains will recognize that.) Geekporn.com was started by MIT alumna Anna Dirks to give the intelligentsia something besides code to salivate over. MIT officials are not very happy with the site, needless to say ("Is that a naked geek up on the roof?"), and are investigating the use of the campus and the MIT logo without permission ("What are you doing naked in that classroom?"). Models on the Web site are all current students who usually can be seen wandering the Infinite Corridor in more appropriate attire. But on geekporn.com, they're not even wearing their pocket protectors. In the "barely illustrated recipes" section, Louis makes his mom's recipe for calzones with his stromboli hanging out. And that's not the bowl Cirrus is licking as he and Jade strip down to make mocha frosting for energy during an all-night study, ahem, session. Who knew when MIT started offering a charm-school class that it would lead to this? But it's not all dirty pictures - Dirks has even posted her CV (curriculum vitae, or, for the Latin-deficient, résumé) on the site. (Besides working for some Internet start-ups before starting geekporn.com, she worked as a visual artist in Nicholas Negroponte's Media Lab at MIT.) And on the technical side, let's not forget the Q&A about building your own rubber corset - arguably more practical than tips on how to build your own fighter jet.
