I did a weekend trip with a lot of outdoors and even some hiking activity and felt fine when I returned home last night. Now I'm on my way to work and find it's the first day of hayfever season for me. Hooray.

I was looking for some nice dino replicas for my home study and... WTF GUYS?! W.T.F?!

Monsterfucking is a pretty common trash romance genre right now.

No comment on that but "Triceratops and Bottoms" is fucking funny

While I don't enjoy the content, the title of any Chuck Tingle book is guaranteed to make me laugh.

I think it's one of woman's subconscious desires/fantasies to tame a beast/monster/vampire/a dangerous man.

Time to start a new thread "funny/random/weird book titles" in the madness forum?

You wouldn't believe some of the titles in academia that I encounter.

My Dad never ceased to be amused by a history of peasant revolts called Bond Men Made Free. He was convinced there should be a preface written by Roger Moore

 

[JudasMyGuide]

It had a prequel!

Here's one of my favourite recent finds:

Bobbies or Boobies? The Scythian Police Force in Classcial Athens, in: D. Braund (Ed.), Scythians and Greeks. Cultural Interactions in Scythia, Athens and the Early Roman Empire (Exeter 2005) 114–122.

Some thoughts about why Scythian archers were employed as police force in the Athenian polis of Classical times.

Interesting... Though some examples make no sense. Like when Jason who had lived 800 ~900 years prior Euripides treats Medea a barbarian as if he were an Athenian in 5th BCE. This makes sense in a theatrical piece but not as a scientific example; in 12 century BCE Greeks were a completely different people they were still performing human sacrifices in Homer's works for one. I don't think they were nearly as chauvinistic, if at all, the way Classic Greeks were with foreigners.

IIRC there was a time when the forum went really crazy, with alt accounts and people copying others' avatars for a while. That was fun.
