I once had a math software demo that made "schmoo plots", but they
didn't
seem as gruesome when represented as wire-frames.  Looked a bit like a
3-D 
"Sink function".  Of course, some sinks are much worse than others.

Where can I subscribe to JBSGS?  Does the Gull stand for what I think it
does?

There used to be a Journal of Irreproducible results, but I suppose they
have
stopped reproducing it.
