Oddest Book Title of the Year

Okay, here are the choices. And I don't mind adding that I find each of them appealing:

1. Applications of High Tech Squids
2. The Aesthetics of the Japanese Lunchbox
3. Bombproof Your House
4. Detecting Foreign Bodies in Food
5. Equids in Time and Space
6. Sexual Health at Your Fingertips

Random thoughts:

How did #6 get by its editor?! Can you dredge high tech squids in flour, deep-fry them and serve them with lemon? Is "equids" a typo? What are the chances of someone bombing my house? Do some foreign bodies taste better than others? A whole book on Japanese lunchboxes?

You can cast your vote right here.
