Sokal and Snow

I was skimming http://compiling.blogspot.com and
was reminded of the postmodern essay generator:

http://www.elsewhere.org/cgi-bin/postmodern

At the end of that page it takes about
Alan Sokal's hoax article that was published.
In the one and only end-of-semester "convocation"
(like graduation) speech I've done I
referred to that. I also cited C.P. Snow's "two cultures".
