This is way too late for the first poster, but perhaps someone else looking for ideas will venture upon this thread at some point.
I did a 22 page paper on serial killers during my freshman year when I was interested in doing profiling. Common traits re: upbringing, childhood behaviors, psychological traits, etc. It was interesting, but not my best piece of work.
My most memorable paper was one I had to write for a class on sociological research methods. We basically had to completely formulate a research topic and a study to go along with it. We were not allowed to actually propose this study or go about doing it. I highly suspected that my instructor was lazy and needed something to write his thesis on. Rather than getting pissed off about it, I decided to have some fun. I turned it into a 25 page dick and fart joke. "Sociological Implications of Male Bathroom Etiquette" or something along those lines. I had research schematics, at one point, a sample survey, a list of "the rules", and the "this doesn't count if the involved parties are drunk" disclaimer. I'll have to see if I can find it...always good for a laugh.
