Best scientific paper title of the year?

C.P. Snow would giggle and be pleased. OK, he might groan as well.
Subtitled "Continuous Melatonin Treatment Maintains Youthful Rhythmic Activity in Aging Crocidura russula" is a paper on how melatonin (which among other things, is very involved in body clocks) affects a small mammal that looks a bit like a mouse.
The title (and link) over the fold (so you can think about it for a minute and take a guess).
THE TIMING OF THE SHREW (doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0005904).

That’s AWESOME. I want to write a paper with a title like that! Unfortunately, my papers tend to involve ugly words like “disgorgement”.
