Announcing Call for Most Esoteric Academic Titles

We're reading so many journal articles with titles that can underwhelm both with their lack of creativity and use of the requisite colon, that I thought it'd be fun to collect some of the most arcane titles. When you need a break from studying, go ahead and add your own nominees to this post.

I'll start with this gem from the latest issue of Critical Social Policy:
It is only a tradition: making sense of Swedish Somalis' narratives of female circumcision and avoiding submission to hegemonic political discourse
Sara Johnsdotter and Birgitta Essen
Critical Social Policy 2005;25 577-589

Can you top that?
