Creating a program to randomly generate nonsensical “academic” papers, submitting one of said papers to an academic conference, and having it accepted, as three MIT students did, beats the heck out of assembling a VW in your room.
What better way to expose the silliness of today’s academic climate?
You can generate your own random paper at the students’ Web site here.
MIT was so proud of the prank that it out a press release about it.
Oh, if only the boys of Delta House had access to such technology.
