Hello,

I have seen many documents which give guidelines for writing
(PhD) research proposals. I am curious to have one point clarified -

What do you think of humor in research proposals? Is it a good idea?

For instance, if the section 'Problem definition' was renamed to
'Problem definition - the gory details'!? Or, 'Proof techniques' was
altered as 'Proof techniques - grappling the bear'!?

Thanks,
Pradip
