Cliff,

I particularly like "'To be or not to be?' by A.P. Iarist.  Brilliant! ;D

Colin,

If you want to get into Horticultural Opposites, how about ....

"Acer pseudo-platanus and Platanus x acerifolia.  Which one is the evil twin?" by A. Scientist

Always good for a mixup in naming.  ;D

Ah, that's the companion book to..
"Xeriscapic Plants of the Amazon Basin", isn't it?
Also..
"Tropical Plants of Antarctica" was another good title.

Mr Screwloose was a prolific author as I recall, although sometimes he used his real first name of Indigo, under the name I. M. Screwloose! ;)

Absolutely hilarious, John, and I've only had timw to read a small amount of it (mainly the disclaimers and directions at the bottom of the page, as it happens).  Brilliant! ;D
