My favorite paper in this style is one which has not (yet) been 
published. It turns out that at one time there were at least 
three Mark Millers active in computer science. One of them, cced 
above, wanted to publish a paper:

   Global Names Considered Harmful
   by Mark Miller, Mark Miller, and Mark Miller

And the paper really doesn't need to go any further than this.

Cheers - Bill
