Genius sorting algorithm: Sleep sort

Man, am I a genius. Check out this sorting algorithm I just invented.


#!/bin/bash
function f() {
    sleep "$1"
    echo "$1"
}
while [ -n "$1" ]
do
    f "$1" &
    shift
done
wait

example usage:
./sleepsort.bash 5 3 6 3 6 3 1 4 7

Hey /prog/lodytes. I propose a game: guess which of new posters are from reddit and which are from HN based on the contents of their posts.

My guess is all this torrid Ruby code is coming from reddit.
