Herbert Schlangemann (the nom de plume of a computer),
submitted the paper "Towards the Simulation of E-commerce"
to the 2008 International Conference
on Computer Science and Software Engineering.

Despite being complete jibberish

it was accepted--apparently without anyone reading it.

In fairness, the conference is *sponsored* by IEEE.

I. Actually having a sense of humor
II. Being smart enough to understand and game the system

My next question, was the reviewer in on it?
