Friday Funnies: Funny PubMed Citations

Here's a fun one for a Friday afternoon.

Jennifer Barlowe, my Ascension Librarian colleague in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is retiring and clearing out some old files.  She shared the following list of PubMed citations with funny titles that she says can be good for livening up a training session.  I use a few of them myself (#6 and #9-1/2)!

Some of the articles are serious; Some are tongue-in-cheek.

I hope they give you a chuckle!
