The Bookseller/Diagram Prize
is a much sillier award than its name suggests. It is presented annually to the "Oddest Book Title of the Year". Past winners include (partial titles)
"People Who Don't Know They're Dead"
,
"Bombproof Your Horse"
,
"The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories"
, and
"Living with Crazy Buttocks"
(a must-read for MetaFilter moderators). All past winners
here
. TheBookseller.com is currently polling readers for their favorites from this year's long-winded shortlist
at the bottom of its frontpage
. Current leader: "Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan" (not available on Amazon!), followed by
"The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification"
,
"How Green Were the Nazis"
and the obviously controversial
"Better Never To Have Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence"
.
Remember, books purchased through these Amazon links benefit MetaFilter, not me.

shrunken heads

the shrunken men
began.

Note to Plinth: According to The Dead People Server,
jokes about Elvis sightings
just aren't funny anymore
. Whole websites about dead people on the other hand... THAT's comedy!
