1 Summary

Here's a selection of… how to say it nicely… let's stick with "strange" paper titles I've been finding while browsing arXiv… Some titles just have a completely unnecessary, uninformative first part (e.g., "The penguin in the box: observations of my favorite galaxy, the latte coffee galaxy"). Some titles try to make a pun or a reference to some popular movie or book… Some are just hard to describe… As you guess, I'm advocating for simple, straight to the point titles. The title should be serious, informative, provide enough elements so the reader knows what it is about, without being too long. The list is only for astro-ph papers (hep-ph and hep-th papers are also worth it). There's no link, just look for the title in astro-ph!

Update: oh wait, there's even a paper on… strange titles: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.17059.pdf. Despite the correlations found, I would still argue that an informative title is the way to go, especially if more people get to choose cheeky titles indeed…

2 Newspaper headlines (fake news maybe?)
