Great editorial in yesterday's Boston Globe.
"Three MIT graduate students invented a computer program that can spit out randomly selected words to create grammatically correct research reports that make absolutely no sense. Now they have had one of those papers accepted for presentation at a July scientific conference."
The name of the conference sounds like it was generated by the same computer program -- The Ninth World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.
And the editorial ends with a plug for Why Business People Speak Like Idiots ("The new book should be required reading in America's suites and cubicles.") So, no need for me to shamelessly bring it up again.
