Thesis title of the day

Here's a real winner: "Detection of Single Quantized Vortex Lines in Rotating HeII" (by Richard Packard, 1969)

When I first read this, I thought "He II" was "Hell". I didn't know that Hell could rotate.

Gazebo should be familiar with the author, and I actually have a good scientific reason to be at his web page. (I'm trying to look up some results of his from the 80s.)

Update: Inspired by this post, Gazebo made a Dinosaur Comic about "Rotating Hell". I approve!
