So this is a collection of real, peer-reviewed academic papers from the humanities programs. This has been the main source of leisure for me and my SO the past week. At nighttime...we can't bring ourselves to go to bed. 'Let's just read ONE more!'

Even if you trend towards politically correct views....I still think you will find this endlessly hilarious. It's basically a collection of abstracts that will have you shaking your head and laughing out loud. We were shocked. And entertained.

Here's a taste of 13 examples:
