If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. It's for this reason that computer scientists created bogobogosort (and sleepybogosort, as you mentioned). For example, bogobogosort tests memory cards more efficiently than a smaller-space algorithm like bogosort. In this case, the recursive nature of bogobogosort acts as space multiplier and fully fills the memory cards (be it DIMM or others). Don't be so quick to judge an algorithm just because it's new.

Also, I'm working on a Bogo programming language with randomized compilation; if anyone is interested in contributing, let me know.
