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.
