This reminds be of an anecdote I read a while agoabout the physicist George Gamow. Having nearly finished a paper, and being in mischievous frame of mind, he invited two other scientists, Hans Bethe and Ralph Alpher to co-author the paper with him. The final paper read as authored by Alpher, Bethe & Gamow.
edit: Just checked WikiPedia, and Alpher was the original author. Still amused me though :)
I think any method to make writing an 80k word dissertation more amusing can only be a good thing, both for authors and readers!
