Found this thread, as it relates to the above ad.
Perhaps not as funny, but it has an academic theme, from August 2006 Ann Arbor Observer:
Well, she may understand "DNA Replication" but what about the more important issue of actually "gettin' some" and "knockin' boots"?
Looks like I finally know what to post on my craigslist personal ad: "You are really hot and are currently trying to ascertain the nature of dark energy. Glasses are a bonus."
