Reminded me of this classic:
>A group of friends and I used to do dramatic readings of the About the Author text from the Mathematica Book, which begins thusly:
>About the Author
>Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica and is widely regarded as the most important innovator in scientific and technical computing today.
>The guy wrote that himself.
>Wait, while searching for that, I see he updated it slightly in later versions:
>About the Author
>Stephen Wolfram is the creator of Mathematica, and a well-known scientist. He is widely regarded as the most important innovator in technical computing today, as well as one of the world's most original research scientists.
>I guess the original didn't fully express the boundless expanse of his awesomeness.
>"Does anyone want to bet as to which will gain self-awareness first: Wolfram Alpha or Wolfram, Stephen?"

- prepend 8y agoHe may have the data to make the argument. I suppose if anyone wanted to measure such things which really shouldn’t be measured, I bet Wolfram has a compelling case.
- gcbw2 8y agoThanks for sharing this. Helped me understand what i was reading before. It honestly took me a while to realize the article wasn't an April fools post! I am still upvoting the submission for its comedic value.
