Neil Martin’s odd-article-title collection

Neil Martin, a distinguished member of the Improbable Research editorial board, has long collected oddly-titled academic studies. Many of the citations find their way into the Annals of Improbable Research. Now and then, Dr. Martin presents a few of his favorites to a specialized audience. One such collection appeared in the journal The Psychologist. The Psychologist‘s Silver Anniversary issue later chose that as its “article of 2001″.

The title of my MA Linguistics dissertation was ‘From Turncoats to Backstabbers: How Headedness and Word Order Determine the Productivity of Agentive and Instrumental Compounding in English.’ Within my peer group, it was the most interesting title, but it’s nothing compared to the actual subjects being discussed in Dr. Martin’s list.
