It is not on the internet, so it doesn't exist?
I happen to have that bundle somewhere in my basement but won't bother to dig it up. I remember that joke-publication quite well.
Even if it's not to be found on the web, it's at least referenced by others. That's an easy find.

Note that that one was published in '91, so before the article by Professor Pi.
- Groxx 14y agoNot at all. But if it's not on either site pointed to as evidence, it's not evidence. It's like saying "unicorns exist, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wombat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wombat ". Or "unicorns exist, I have a photo in my basement". Why would I expect anyone to take that as proof?
- Jorian 14y agoNo, you pose this as an argumentum ex silentio instead of a simply asking for a link to the reference or even a copy of the article. So why should I be bothered to dig this thing out of my library? Well, at least I gave you a reference to the article. Finding that reference should have taken you no more than two minutes.
