    +plausi | I've patented a special sorting algorithm I like to call "dicksort".
    +plausi | It's like quicksort, but I use it to rank men by their penis size.
    +gnustomp | I've patented a special sorting algorithm I like to call "nosort".
    +gnustomp | It's like other sorting algorithms, but it doesn't actually sort anything.
    +plausi | I've patented a special sorting algorithm I like to call "stackoversort"
    +plausi | It just downloads and runs code from stack overflow until the array is
    | sorted.
    +gnustomp | I've patented a special sorting algorithm I like to call "sorted".
    +gnustomp | Your array is already sorted, but you don't believe it.
    +loadedice | I've stolen this sorting algorithm called bogo sort, it just shuffles
    | things in random order and then checks if its sorted. It's the fastest and
    | slowest algorithm.
    +plausi | I've patented this special sorting algorithm called bogobogosort, it just
    | shuffles things in random order, checks if they're sorted, and then
    | shuffles smaller and smaller portions of the array. If one of the portions
    | is unsorted, it reshuffles the entire array.
    +loadedice | Thats clever.
    +gnustomp | I've patented this special sorting algorithm called nullsort, it empties
    | the array, so that the array becomes sorted because it contains nothing.
    +plausi | I've patented this special sorting algorithm called onesort, it empties
    | the array, except for the first element, so that the array is sorted due
    | to containing only one thing.
    +loadedice | Has someone patented an algorithm that sorts an array by defining the
    | sorted state to the array and then tries to sort all the other arrays
    | according to the first array that is "correctly sorted"?
    +plausi | I've patented an algorithm called ##hypnotoadsort, that posts the array
    | into IRC and assumes the first response from auscompgeek will be the
    | array, but sorted.
    +plausi | It's O(n log n) time.
    +gnustomp | I've patented an algorithm named PaperSort, that checks if PaperBag's
    | database for a factoid of the array, otherwise it makes the array a sorted
    | collection of good band names.
    +plausi | I've patented an algorithm called stdlibsort, it checks the stdlib of
    | every language you have installed for an Array.sort() (+ casing variants),
    | and runs those until the array is sorted.
