Joke titles and/or author lists are also quite popular, e.g. the Greenberg, Greenberger, Greenbergest paper[1], a paper with a cat coauthor whose title I can’t seem to recall (but I’m sure there’s more than one I’ve encountered), or even the venerable, unfortunate in its joke but foundational in its substance Alpher, Bethe, Gamow paper[2]. Somewhat closer to home, I think computer scientist Conor McBride[3] is the champion of paper titles (entries include “Elimination with a motive”, “The gentle art of levitation”, “I am not a number: I am a free variable”, “Clowns to the left of me, jokers…

Academic CS has its share of whimsical titles; these are Conor McBride’s specialty[1], although he’s not at all the only practitioner[2,3]. In other areas it’s not as common, but I could name some famous physics[4] or maths papers. Titles that are not whimsical but straight to the point also do occur[5,6], and so do subtler jokes[7,8].
