So... ... a sorting algorithm that uses a wankton of energy and gets the sort order wrong sometimes. Um... why, though?
I still recall to this day, one of my university tutors talking about the C fastmath compiler directive: "I do not need a computer to arrive very, very quickly at the wrong answer; I can do that myself."
It's good to see that with applications of modern comp-sci we have graduated to arriving very, very slowly and at great expense at the wrong answer.
Because bogo sort isn't funny enough.
Lol bogosort! There's a term I haven't heard in a while
