    Dolph Lundgren has a degree in chem engineering from MIT whilst being a very dangerous fighter.

    a real shame he just isn't a great actor

    Edit: I had to look up the origins again, don't think it made it into reviewed journals, it was aimed at a specific conference that was known to accept low quality papers.
    I refer to the 'academic conferences' not the academics who create the paper generator. If conference accept the paper, it does show they are fooled by the generator, or they simply do not do their screening seriously.

    There are lots of accomplished and intelligent athletes in this world. Tons of people who do a lot more off the field than on it.

    What is rare about this story is that the media actually reported on it. It's far easier and perhaps better for ratings to report on Athletes who get in trouble with the law......
