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 to the right”, and “Doo bee doo bee doo”) and sometimes code in papers: letmeB this (F you) | you == me = B this | otherwise = F you letmeB this (B that) = B that letmeB this (App fun arg) = letmeB this fun `App` letmeB this arg (Yes, this is working code; yes, it’s crystal clear in the context of the paper.)
