microLenat
microLenat: /mi`-kroh-len'-*t/ n. The unit of
{bogosity}, written uL; the consensus is that this is
the largest unit practical for everyday use. The microLenat,
originally invented by David Jefferson, was promulgated as an
attack against noted computer scientist Doug Lenat by a {tenured
graduate student} at CMU. Doug had failed the student on an
important exam for giving only "AI is bogus" as his answer to the
questions. The slur is generally considered unmerited, but it has
become a running gag nevertheless. Some of Doug's friends argue
that *of course* a microLenat is bogus, since it is only one
millionth of a Lenat. Others have suggested that the unit should
be redesignated after the grad student, as the microReid.
