I used to work as an editor for freshmeat.net and we would get hilarious submissions like this quite frequently. For example, the "revolutionary new file compression algorithm" that quite literally converted a file into binary and removed all the 0s. Such a shame that the author "hadn't gotten around to" writing a de-compression tool!

We were often quite sad that we couldn't publish some of these gems, they were brilliant.
