I like all 10. I think #2 is a winner! I can smell a reality TV show out of that PhD.
If I wrote #3, it would be a one liner: line them up and shoot em.
For #1, I suggest you give your spell check creative license...
Thanks!
#6 might make quite a good reality teev show as well. You've got me thinking now...
Oh man, I loved these. Especially, 1, 6 and 9. They made me giggle. Well done!
Thanks Brandy, I have to say, it is soooo much more fun writing thesis titles than it is writing a thesis.
Love them all. Particularly No. 1 -have recently finished a Gender Studies honors thesis, and that title is WAY better than mine was.
Thanks Fem, and Hi... I have to say though, it is certainly a lot easier to come up with titles when you don't have to worry about the content. Maybe I could set up a scheme selling titles to stressed postgrads...
Haha. Very nice. These made me laugh.
Hey that scheme would be a total money spinner - and you wouldn't even need to read the thesis!
