"The fire hydrant organizes the inferiority complex defined by the cheese wheel. Any cough syrup can sanitize a power drill, but it takes a real fairy to underhandedly play pinochle with the dreamlike submarine. A seldom smelly buzzard hesitates, and a tornado ruminates; however, an anomaly over the sandwich trades baseball cards with some wedge around the inferiority complex. A wedge toward a canyon caricatures the rattlesnake of a judge."
(and much more along similar lines, wrapped around a brief message about the virtues of a curious-looking plastic device of some sort).

I much prefer this to the type of spam that excerpts chunks from Jules Verne novels. If this text is actually generated, there's some pretty good language analysis stuff going on there. (Although maybe it's just substituted into predefined sentences, that wouldn't be so interesting...)

That is quite remarkable. Someone should paint a picture of this. :o)

It looks a bit like the Oulipo "N+7" idea, where you go through a text replacing all the nouns with the n+7th noun in the dictionary. You can also do it with poetry, except there you have to "round up" to the next noun that scans and rhymes:

I wandered lonely as a crowd
That floats on high o'er valves and ills
When all at once I saw a shroud,
A hound, of golden imbeciles

More here...

looks a bit like
