Lovecraft.<br /><br />I know Poe is one of the authors in the database, because it said so when I tried my own stuff.<br /><br />So purely entertainment value.Sachin Shanbhaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932887228149182854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-490082582958131962010-07-22T17:25:37.528+05:302010-07-22T17:25:37.528+05:30I tried this too.

Ruchira Paul gives a list of the authors which come frequently when she tried the writings of a few other bloggers, and Cory Doctorow is on the list.gaddeswaruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509075029154476375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-11743003298393149992010-07-22T16:30:45.709+05:302010-07-22T16:30:45.709+05:30Sourendu: While this site is obviously not be take...Sourendu: While this site is obviously not be taken seriously, it does say (in its defense) that you should submit a couple of paragraphs at least, not just one sentence! But anyway, this was just for entertainment!

If you change the word turkeys to turkey sandwiches, the sentence reads like something by Kurt Vonnegut.
