They're this deep:

>Abstract

>Pyramid schemes are a well-known way of taking bundles of money from suckers. This paper is not about them. Although on first inspection, this paper sounds like it is about pyramid schemes, we promise that it is not.

And a little further down...

>1. Introduction and Related Work

>This is not a pyramid scheme. This is an easy way for you to make money. It is not related to a pyramid scheme because it is a polytope scheme. For a comparison, please see Fig.2

>If you want guaranteed financial freedom and personal fulfillment from algebraic geometry, sign up now to invest in our gift-giving invest- ment scheme.

All laid out in beautifully typeset LaTeX. Brings a tear to my eye.

Found a typo:

"You do not want to be pursuing some Ph.D. when all your friends are pouring crystal all over benjamins in the Cayman islands."

"crystal" should by "Cristal", the much hyped bubbly in hip-hop lyrics.

Incredible; love the coupon at the end "Yes, I want stress-free personal financial freedom via Algebraic Geometry!!!"
