This is OT, but computer related.
A computer-generated nonsense paper was accepted for presentation at the
World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI).
The story is at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4449651.stm
and the paper can be read at: http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/scigen/rooter.pdf

That is the printed paper equivalent of the latest series of Look Around
