Just an idea for a bit of banter :p

Suppose you had to write a very serious scientific paper (I know many of you already have had experience with this) and you were allowed to name the subsequent chapters after anything you liked. What would you put? You can use anything you like, quotations, humour, anything!

Basic structure would be as follows:

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Lit. Review
Chapter 3: Methodologies
Chapter 4: Evaluation
Chapter 5: Conclusion
Chapter 6: References

Some examples:

Chapter 1: Genesis

Chapter 2: Some old Celtic ********

Chapter 3: Revenge of the Sith

Chapter 4: WARNING: Do not look into laser with remaining eye!

Chapter 5: The Money Shot

Chapter 6: When you are a student, it's called plagiarism; when you are a professor, it's called scholarship.
 
:p ahh

Still iffy on what the thread wants, how about a re phrase of it ?

Well, you know in books how they always have titles for their chapters such as 'The great ape' or 'Spirals and declines', or something more simple along the lines of 'Setting the scene'. Basically, imagine you're allowed to write whatever you want for the title; have a little fun.

Imagine it was your dissertation or thesis you were about to hand in. What titles would be completely inappropriate?

Does that explain it a little better? :(
