Here is a fun link : SCIgen – An Automatic CS Paper Generator.

SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers. Our aim here is to maximize amusement, rather than coherence.

One useful purpose for such a program is to auto-generate submissions to conferences that you suspect might have very low submission standards.

I took me a second to write my own computer science paper Deconstructing Red-Black Trees.

From what i saw the last couple of months at math.QA someone must have modified the program into an Automatic QA Paper Generator and was a bit too generous in letting her/his buddies use it…
