Usually a footnote on the title of a paper is there to list acknowledgements or previous versions, like:
Toward a Postmodern Hermeneutic of Things Referencing Other Things*
*I am grateful to Cecil Harvey and Rosa Farrell for their helpful comments and assistance. This research was supported by grant #CMSAB24601 from the National Endowment for the Humanities. A previous version of this paper was printed in Proceedings of the 11th International Colloquium on Things Referencing Other Things.
That said, I really dislike that convention. If you want to put a real footnote on your title instead, more power to you.
City Upon a Tel:1 (#1)Sarah Palin and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.
1 (#1_back)[Something about Tel in the archaeological sense being an appropriate metaphor.]
Though she knows about archaeology and whatnot, so she probably will get the reference and maybe the footnote should not be there.
Also, look how good I am at resisting the urge to have the title be something like "City upon a Hill: How Sarah Palin was made of Epic Fail in the VP debate." I will not use the phrase "epic fail" in my paper. I will be good.
What about footnoting footnotes? Have you done that? (I've done it a few times, most recently in my last exegesis paper. I haven't gotten that back yet so I'm not sure how I did, seeing as it had gigantic tangential footnotes which were almost as long as half the paper.)
