Be careful writing nutty papers. With the state of academia these days, readers might love the craziest ideas and build on them.

Sent a paper on a new type of calculus, and the editor was Dr. Underwood Dudley who is famous for making fun of math crackpots. I was so afraid of making a mistake that I reworked the paper at least 10 times. I made my coauthor double check our work too the point he told me to just send the dagnabit paper in. Dr. Underwood liked the paper so much that he bumped our paper up to the next printing of the journal.
