I've already submitted a copyright application for  "Atomic Battle Kraken"

When I was in my senior year, I took a Cold War class with one of my regular professors and mentors.  On a take home test where we were to go into the lead up political reasons for the Vietnam War, I wrote and extensive answer that involved Battle Krakens, Hitler's broken body recuperating in a Storm Shrouded Castle in Hanoi and getting bionic upgrades, Mecha-JFK ect.  It was pretty epic.  I gave the real answer after about two pages. 

The funny thing is that it ended up making sense and fitting with history by the end.

He deserved it.  The step for the first question on that test was "Read Gar Alperovitz's "The Decision to use the Atomic Bomb".   This is why you never accept a professor's offer to skip finals for a take home exam.
