I enjoyed this.  I have always thought that Annals of Improbable Research 
should be considered a secret Fluxus outpost in the realm of scientific 
research.  The mailart "research" project you cite reminded me of my own 
New Wave Psychology mail art project at Kent State in 1984.  Based on that 
experience (compared to my own personal mail art experience at the time) I 
speculated that organizations will tolerate a small amount of deviance (vs. 
bag fulls of it) and that a small amount of deviance may even been needed 
by these organizations in order to keep their bureaucratic ways 
greased.  Or something like that.  More details
