Re: faeces - that's a good one!
Largely thanks to this discussion, I'm sure, I've just misread the title
of an article mentioned on the cover of New Scientist (20 June - we've
had a bit of a backlog at work!) as "Oranges vs Chimps" rather than
"Orangs vs Chimps".
A while back when doing my Birkbeck scicomm diploma course (hugely
enjoyed it, I hear it's turning into an MSc?!) I completely failed to
finish my thesis on the legal wranglings in the US around the sneaky
moves from creationism to intelligent design (Kitzmiller trial,
"breathtaking inanity of the schoolboard" etc) and I was going to call
it "Dissent with Modification".

Subject: Re: [PSCI-COM] not quite minus one letter
A former colleague of mine wrote a paper entitled "The origin of
faeces", about
using biomarkers to identify faecal source (human, ruminant, porcine,
canine).
There were times when it wasn't great working in that lab.
