Those Wascally MIT Students

Via Tim Blair, a group of MIT students were tired of getting spam solicitations for submissions to the World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI), and wrote a program to generate a faux research paper complete with nonsensical jargon and meaningless diagrams.

It was accepted.

Excerpts: "the model for our heuristic consists of four independent components: simulated annealing, active networks, flexible modalities, and the study of reinforcement learning" and "We implemented our scatter/gather I/O server in Simula-67, augmented with opportunistically pipelined extensions".

Check out the article, it just gets better.
