Winner for the "bad article titles of the week" award: "Homeotic Supersymmetry," by Barenboim and Lykken. I made it halfway through the abstract before I realized that I'd misread the title. (And that it wasn't nearly as interesting as I'd first expected)

Hmm... wow, I missed that somehow.

And no, this paper is apparently not an April Fool's joke.
