Does this make anyone else want to giggle?

I just googled my husband and a list of his publications came up. Go ahead and try it if you're bored-- Nathaniel J. Fredin. Anyway, this was the title on one of his papers:

"Surface analysis of erodible multilayered polyelectrolyte films: nanometer-scale structure and erosion profiles"

I like to read the titles of his papers out loud-- it makes for a good laugh.

Sounds like what comes out of Brian's mouth.

Erodible multilayered polyelectrolyte films?!?! Bah. Nonsense. Not possible.

I always giggle at academic-work titles. I especially love subtitles that are, like, 3 times as long as the "real" title. "Our History: How We Went There and Came Back Without Contracting Deadly Illnesses, 1867-1872." That kind of thing.

Sounds kind of dirty.
