Students at the UK's De Montfort University in Leicester have joined forces with Penguin to launch a "novel wiki." The project, which will run throughout the month of February, is designed to see if thousands of users can do as good a job at creating a fictional narrative as they can at describing the Jetsons. Several days into the project, it sadly (and predictably) looks like they cannot.

Duh?
