Google Talk

A post on MeFi led me to this wonderful little toy: Google Talk.

Use Google talk by entering three or four words below. The system will search for this sentence at Google, find the next word and print that. Than it will remove the first word of the search string, add the found word and repeat. The result seems to be meaningfull sometimes. Other times it is giblish. But always fun.

I’ve been playing with it off and on for a while, and it’s come up with some wonderfully nonsensical stuff. Some sample searches below, with the key words I started with in bold:

star wars Episode I- THE Great) war The Great War: The first World War. II THE Wrath of God by AW Tozer in the News: Journal.
george lucas is the only way to Be Human. A Biography of the singer, s voice.
Osama Bin Laden is hiding in the bushes in the backyard and it was all not politically advantageous or large sums of money.
my breasts are too small to See, with a microscope: by a pathologist. who is a Jew? by Choice and Not a Job To do.
my penis is too small for the TEAM: BY the coaches and the media A Guide to the Internet and the World Wide Web Virtual Library History of Science, and Technology

Other people have had some fun playing with this and posting their results. Some of my favorites:

forever will we think about the recent court settlement between Microsoft and the BAVARIAN Alps.
When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high. AND blow Your Brains Out
Jesus Christ died for our sins. BY his blood we shall be Free from defects in material and workmanship.
Imagine all the people Living for today. Imagine there s no heaven, It’ s easy if you’ have the Blues? ask your doctor, and pharmacist if you are allergic to latex, may also be allergic to other foods, as well, as the Dreamcast? and the PC, but I can t GET no satisfaction? I can t get no satisfaction? I can t get no satisfaction?
Monday, I start anew with dreams big enough to crush a human skull with a bullet hole in the back of the North Wind: by GEORGE
jesus saved me from the MAILING list, for the discussion of the Issues raised by the frequent use of the Internet.

    The end is near!

    Just a couple of quick notes. Repent, the end is near, possible terrorist attack in Russia, remember to do the Lynndie (via Funkdigital), and I’m leaving soon for the West Coast, so there won’t be many updates from me. Oh,
