Pretty sure its a virtual world created by Umberto Eco to gain material for his follow up novel to 'Foucault's Pendulum'.

Dear All
My last post on this topic (honest)...
I left a message on Dr Furley's Blog on Friday asking if this really WAS his
site as the sexist job adverts were "causing concern in the library world". I
really had started to wonder if the whole thing was an elaborate effort to
discredit the guy (notice how his real email address wasn't there? Just some
dodgy sounding yahoo.com address? Also the site was unprofessionally produced -
different fonts on different pages etc.) Anyway, I didn't get a reply but the
offending site has disappeared, so maybe Dr Furley himself did something about
getting it removed.
Best wishes
Ian

Nobody else found it revoltingly pervy, insulting and very icky, then? I am
obviously having a sense-of-humour malfunction.
