This one is a bit old (and very geeky), but I have just seen it for the first time. It was first published way before blogging existed - in 1977 to be exact. Thats two years before I was born :-/
I have always been fascinated by math and the many (odd) ways it can be used. Having studied computer science the name Donald Knuth has come up quite a few times. He is knows for being both smart and funny, but it was not before yesterday I read his paper on song complexity (pdf). The link is to the 1984 reprint in Communications of the ACM.
Even if you can't completely remember your computational complexity theory (I can't), it is still a funny paper. If you are not a little into math it might not be your best ever 3 pages ;-) .
