Some fun reflections from Marty.

Yesterday, we got our new pickup! It is exactly what we wanted. We didn't need one of these yuppie trucks that works year-round, goes faster than 55MPH, and has a fully intact body.

Now this is absolutely hilarious. A randomly-generated computer science paper has been accepted to a conference. Not just that, but the grad students behind the program that generated it are raising money so they can attend and deliver a randomly-generated talk.

Read the paper and you'll probably burst out laughing.

If you don't know much about computer science, it may look shockingly real.
