I mentioned that I'm in one class all about the Thirty Years War, and another class about Early Modern Europe, so the former is a subset of the latter.

In the former class today, I mentioned something I'd learned in the latter class. The professor looked displeased and changed the topic. Afterwards, one of the other students took me aside to give me some useful intellegence.

The professors of the classes had been married. They are now not married. The process of becoming un-married was apparently rather rough on all the students in the department, what with the two professors having screaming arguments in the departmental offices and all. So the word on the street is that students should do everything possible to avoid mentioning one to the other. Now I know.

Amusingly, the person that told me about all this got a letter of recommendation from each of them. When asking for a LoR, the professor typically asks "Who else is writing one for you?" My friend was apparently quite evasive in answer to that question.
