[Phys-L] Random Conference Paper Generation



As an interesting addition to internet provision of homework solutions for students, professors (and students) can now have their conference papers prepared on the internet. Of course, the papers will have random content. However, see the following URL for a MIT students prank where just such a conference paper was generated by random techniques with "context-free grammar," charts and diagrams and then accepted by the conference! The URL contains provision for generating your own random paper. I didn't try that, but reading the student generated paper provided some smile time for a Friday morning.
