Is there some spambot that randomly picks an article from Wikipedia and posts it to YC?

(The subject is one of the older bad ideas from British railroad practice, along with brake vans, buffer and chain couplers, and two-axle boxcars. In the US, Congress passed the Railroad Safety Appliance Act in 1893, and by 1900, all railroad cars and engines had to have air brakes and automatic couplers. Because of this forced standardization, boxcars could become much bigger and heavier. The UK and much of the EU still don't have fully standardized automatic couplers for freight trains.)
