There was once a headline in The News of the World or a similar newspaper about someone who was arrested for some utterly minor offence.

There are also great menus for titles offering options such as 'Archimandrite' and 'His Supreme Majesty' alongside Mr and Ms
Heh... People who enjoy such lists may well find solid entertainment in Palmer's Index to The Times... See:
