I voted and was surprised.. sort of.. by the title that is leading the pack. Let me know if you vote and if you were surprised by the results.

Can anyone think of an odd book title? How about a movie title?

  1. I voted for pygmy. I was surprised who was leading. I can only guess that author must be getting people to vote for it...lol.

    Cheers.

  2. Thanks for posting this! I might actually read MacKinnon's book. That's right up my alley. Women and children are the most vulnerable people groups and suffer from human rights abuses the most (globally speaking in terms of human security) though this is often overlooked. Her title reveals how far we still have yet to go. (Someone else should write a book called "Are Children Human?") Anyway, thanks! (And sorry for the serious comment on a light-hearted post!) ;)

  3. Umm... I'm assuming the winning title is a sexual reference, but then I'm kind of slow on these things.

    They were all funny, but I voted for "Cheese Problems Solved" because I have this thing about short and sweet. Or in this case Extra Sharp, but that's another thing. But I go on...
