I have recently undertaken a project to make a computer program capible of writing chrons. So far, I think human writers are safe, but judge for yourself - here is some of its output. (I gave it a little help with page layout, but the comp wrote the sentinces and picked the words...)

I hope no-one is offended by the fact that some of the board members make cameo appearnces in the story. Hey, I was running low on names for its name list... Posted Image

An Elf Injured A Scroll
- By Bryce's Mac

Mira Amused or otherwise interacted with Avatara.
And so on, until Leandra Slamed with a Neon Tetra Mira's Neck

Then Dr. McCoy Pushed The Fish.
Cache22 Threw or otherwise interacted with The Pufferfish.
Captain Kirk Stabed The Pufferfish.
Qui-Gon Jinn Blasted The Pufferfish.
Then Slayer Jumped on The Fish

Someone who looked like Glenn Andreas Stabed The Hair Drier
An Elf Restored A Hair Drier.

Moonshadow Pulled or otherwise interacted with Miles O'Brian's Thumb
A Shapeshifter Cleaned with a Brick The Plecostomus
Velcarn Washed A Plecostomus.

However, Slayer Unscrewed or otherwise interacted with Natile Portman
After That, Someone other than Slayer Bemused with a Stuffed Animal a Lamp
Someone other than Dr. McCoy Pummeled The Lamp
Glenn Andreas Resurected with a Pliers A Lamp
Glenn Andreas Vaccumed An Elf's Hands

A Cat Sucked Captain Kirk

An Elf Amused The Heater
Then Someone other than A Tribble Dryed Talaris's Belly.
And so on, until Talaris Hit A Tribble.

Afterwards, Wolmark Squrited Katerei's Back
And so on, until A Shapeshifter Slamed The Quil Pen.
Then Katerei Injured or otherwise interacted with The Shroomish
And so on, until The Shroomish Unscrewed or otherwise interacted with A Cat

However, A Shapeshifter Hit with a Dwarven War-Axe The Sheep
However, Cache22 Punched Captain Kirk's Earlobe
However, Cache22 Shocked The Sheep
After That, Cinderella Threw Cache22
And so on, until Flynn Struck Slayer's Chin

Then Someone who looked like Glenn Andreas Resurected Grand Moff Tarkin's Thumb. Then Grand Moff Tarkin Injured Avatara's Mouth.

Then Grand Moff Tarkin Hurt with a Glove Sybok's Thigh
Then Grand Moff Tarkin Blasted A Tribble
But Before that, A Tribble Popped A Pufferfish.
A Tribble Healed A Primitive Mallet

The end.


Another sample:
Jar-Jar Binks was a Energetic person.
Only a Sticker or a Packing Crate could Bemused Jar-Jar Binks.
Though it was thought that David could do the same.


P.S. I think we're safe Posted Image

Rejected sentinces... possible funnier than the story!

• Dr. Crusher Yanked with a Underpants Lincon's Thigh

Is she giving him a wedgie?

Quark and Odo can get along after all!

And you said mainstream Catholics don't do faith healing.


•But Darth Barney Vaccumed Wolmark
Darth Barney Restored Locutus of Borg
Then Darth Barney and Locutus of Borg Sucked or otherwise interacted with The Laser Rifle.
But Darth Barney and Locutus of Borg Threw or otherwise interacted with XR

The reign of terror of Barney.


•But Someone who looked like Clinton Jumped on Sasha
And so on, until The Queen Crushed Clinton

No words here...

•Trianis Conspired With Qui-Gon Jinn
Afterwards, Avatara and Slayer Pummeled or otherwise interacted with Trianis.
Avatara and Slayer Whacked The Latex Glove

Yet another report of mod brutality Posted Image

• Someone who looked like Zazu Unscrewed Moonshadow's Toe

So, elves toes unscrew... who knew?


• Someone who looked like Timon Crushed Jar-Jar Binks with a Brick

He finaly got what was coming to him.

Actualy, I think you are both good mods, although for a while I was kinda miffed at you for slaping Ody that one time... but its in the past now.

When it is more 'finished', right now its output requires a bit of gramatical editing and such... unless you can accept source code. Do you have METAL?
