I love a good, well-written paper:
"In this paper we showed how to replicate current quantum factorisation records using first a
VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, then an abacus, and finally a dog. In terms of
comparative demonstrated factorisation power, we rank a VIC-20 above an abacus, an abacus
above a dog, and a dog above a quantum factorisation physics experiment."
