MIT pranks strike again

Here's a newscientist description of the backstory:

And the offending pdf: http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/rooter.pdf

Especially entertaining are the graphs.  Latency measured in bytes and
celcius, time measured in teraflops, signal-to-noise ratio in nm, seek
time in cylinders.  The thing I find most ironic, and I'm not sure if it
was intentional or not, is that the first reference is entitled Journal
of Automated Reasoning 904.
