The folks at In the Dark have come up with A Unified Quantum Theory of Sexual Interaction.  This is the best geek hilarity I've ever seen.  It's probably even funnier if you have any idea what they are talking about, in regard to quantum theory.  I particularly enjoyed their quip about string theorists "twiddling their thumbs":
Self- interactions involving a solitary phase are generally difficult
to observe,  although examples have been documented that involve
short-lived but highly-excited states  accompanied by various forms of stimulated emission,
although the resulting fluxes are generally not well measured. This
form of interaction also appears to be the current preoccupation of string theorists.

And their research plan:
We have recently submitted an application to the Science and Technology Facilities Council
for a modest sum (£754 million) to build a large-scale  UK facility  in
order to carry out hands-on experimental tests of some aspects of the
theory. We hope we can rely on the support of the physics community in
agreeing to close down their labs and quit their jobs in order to
release the funding needed to support it.

This is really funny! I liked the "tunneling" bit too.
