Via [livejournal.com profile] nasu_dengaku, I've discovered a photographer on Flickr who posts photos from his trip home from work (apparently in Milan, Italy) with titles usually taken from the theoretical high energy physics preprint listings on arXiv.org (often with a few words changed). In the handful of examples I've checked, the titles were taken from papers that were posted to the hep-th archive on or very near the day that the photo was posted, so I halfway suspect that the photographer might be a physicist himself (either that, or he's just taken to reading the arXiv daily looking for fitting titles).

At any rate, the photos are often pretty neat and the physics-inspired titles definitely make me look at a lot of them in a new and different way. A few examples:I wonder if I could get a grant to study that last topic?

wouldn't you be constrained in your selection of research partners? ;)

Well, it would be for science :-)
