Excuse me a moment while I wipe up the coffee I spit all over my computer when I read this article this morning.

“Closure” won this year’s “oddest book title” competition in the UK, beating out the insightful “Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues.”

Past winners have been just as spit-worthy:

“Joy of Chickens” took the 1980 title, with “The Theory of Lengthwise Rolling” in 1983, “Lesbian Sadomasochism Safety Manual” in 1990, “Living with Crazy Buttocks” in 2002 and “Bombproof Your Horse” in 2004 are but a sample.

And don’t forget the original 1978 winner “”Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice.”

Chickens, mice, horses, lesbian sadomasochists… what kinda country they got across the pond, anyway?
