but this was pretty funny . . . I'm looking for some papers for research, and I came across the following citation:
Edan, Y., Rogozin, V., Flash, T. and Miles, G.E. (2000) Robotic Melon Harvesting, IEEE Trans. on Robotics and Automation, 16:831-835.
I had no idea people published in IEEE transactions about melon harvesting. I wonder if someone wrote a PhD dissertation about melon harvesting. Somehow that sounds like something that fits better in an agriculture department! (Actually I think it could be interesting, but I am too lazy to read the article.)
Also, for those of you who think arguing research scientists are funny: http://isb.ri.ccf.org/biomch-l/archives/biomch-l-1996-02/00187.html Basically it is a discussion from a mailing list where a bunch of well-respected scientists start to get into a flame war about whose theories are correct!
