One of the commenters on Quora linked to an academic paper providing a solution to this problem. It was apparently published in ACL-HLT this year. http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brun/pubs/pubs/Kiddon11.pdf http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brun/pubs/pubs/Kiddon11.p... Enjoy. It's easily the most hilarious academic paper I've read.

I've seen several better ones, but it's an interesting read nonetheless :) ("applying a novel approach - Double Entendre via Noun Transfer (DEviaNT) ") As an example of other funny articles, this legal one on the word "fuck" is one of the best I've read recently (found it linked here on HN previously): http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/articles/fairman_fuck http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/faculty/articles/fairman_fuck Of course, the annals of improbable research and Ig Nobel prizes yield several other examples :)
