I have no idea what this list is for, but it's the funniest thing I've seen so far today. How did I stumble upon it? Googling "Arkham's razor". That was amusing, too.

It appears to be a repository of Titles for Articles Which Have Not Yet Been Written... puns and tropes too good to throw away, to spark the imaginations of future writers. I'm surprised "Arhkam's Razor" is unassigned -- it's clearly the Horror genre's version of the principle of parsimony, whereby any event in need of investigation will have a simple and innocuous explanation which is wrong, masking a horrible machination by whatever evil lies at the root of the plot. Or maybe the principle which states that any utterance by a TV's version of a madman in an insane asylum is in fact insightful and meaningful, merely misunderstood. The crazy, they see reality as it really is!

That whole site is great! Pop culture exegesis is one of the many things the Internet is apparently for.

That's beautiful. Thank you. I love TVTropes too; only this morning it taught me about the Heel Face Turn, which convinces me yet again that professional wrestling is the richest cultural artifact being produced today - a kind of meta-art (and deep beneath the arts).

I liked the explanation I came across googling: "The most horrific explanation is most likely correct."
