Science papers with double meanings

Jacks of Science has collected a list of "Unintentionally inappropriate science papers" which includes:

AN Oraevsky, Spontaneous emission in a cavity, PHYS-USP, 37 (4), 393-405 (1994)
D. Vlassopoulos, et al. From hairy balls to hairy rods : Using macromolecular chemistry to bridge the gap between polymers and colloids, The Journal of Rheology (2000)
S. Tanveer, Surprises in Viscous Fingering, J. Fluid Mech. vol. 409, pp. 273–308 (2000)
W. Likos, N. Lu. Automated Measurement of Total Suction Characteristics in High-Suction Range: Application to Assessment of Swelling Potential, Journal of the Transportation Research Board, Vol. 1755 119-128 (2001)

To this I can add:

Pinto, RMN. (1962). Sex and acoustic trauma: audiologic study among 199 Varig Airlines (Brazil) Flight-Stewards and Stewardesses. Revista Brasileira de medicina. 19(6): 326-327.

Unfortunately not as interesting as it sounds, because by "sex" they mean "gender". And also:

Carbaugh, BT, et al. Effects of morphological variations of chicken models on sexual responses of cocks. Animal Behaviour. 10: 235-238.

I think these poor scientists need to get out more often. Maybe someone could introduce them to yesterdays hookers.

But then we'll end up funding a study on how many paper bags it takes to get it up with Tennesee hookers

I've mentioned this before but it's appropriate again - watch the movie Teeth
