@0x4d6165@wanderingwires.net@stellarskylark from Wikipedia: "Freeman Dyson was interviewed by Robert Wright in 2003 and the Dyson Sphere topic was broached. In response he stated that the paper he wrote on this concept was intended to be a joke and had nothing to do with work. He added that it amused him that he had become famous only for the things he didn't think were serious."
