Now I thought I had seen just about everything when it came to my writing. For goodness sakes, someone once bought one of my books by mistake in Spain thinking it was a different book, read it, and then emailed me about enjoying it. But this has to be one of the more unique experiences so far. Now some of you might remember that I’ve written a long time history blog called Professor Errare (which will be restarting most likely soon, maybe), and way back in 2019, or maybe sooner, I wrote an entry about how a bunch of Ivy League schools used to take naked pictures of all their students for what they claimed were posture related reasons. You can check it out below.

Anyways, fast forward to 2022, and lo and behold some other person writes an article for a history blog on the same subject, which is no big deal given that there’s only so much history to go around. However, what makes this specific article so interesting is that they use my post as a reference in their article (check out the link below, link in the last paragraph in the section marked: “Some of the ivy league nude photos were burnt.”) Now though I do my research, this does seem like a bit of questionable choice given a) I’m just some rando who once had a blog a few hundred people read, and b) I don’t cite a single one of my information sources. However, though this raises all sorts of questions regarding the veracity of articles you read on the internet, even ones which are cited, it’s still pretty damn cool.

Anyways, if you would like to read more of Professor Errare’s stuff, you should check out some of his books, like:
