$\"Stochastic$ <\/p>\n

But having\u00a0been asked about it, I feel the need to comment on the subject.<\/p>\n

The only other place I found an image with a similar tag was on an image which was created to poke fun at fears in the United States about Ebola during the height of the outbreak in West Africa. I will include that image below. It comes from a parody site on Facebook, \u201cThe Ebola Quarantine of America.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

People have been calling themselves \u2013 sometimes with groups of like-minded friends \u2013\u00a0\u201cresearch institutes\u201d since long before the internet era.\u00a0It can clearly be an attempt to mislead people. But in this case, is it that, or parody, or even self-parody? It can be so hard to tell.<\/p>\n

Has anyone come across any other images created by the \u201cJusset Research Institute\u201d? Does anyone want to claim credit\u00a0as the mastermind behind it?<\/p>\n
