microLenat

The unit of bogosity. Abbreviated mL in ASCII. Consensus is that this is the largest unit practical for everyday use. The microLenat, originally invented by David Jefferson, was promulgated as a ribbing of the famous computer scientist Doug Lenat by a tenured graduate student at CMU. Lenat had failed the student on an important exam because the student gave only "AI is bogus" as his answer to the questions.

While watching a demonstration of the Cyc expert system, my bogometer redlined and then exploded. In its place was a hole in the space-time continuum caused by an epic excess of bogosity, which is believed to have measured 1,000,000 microLenats.
