Just thought I'd post this 'cos it made me laugh.
To explain:
I'm trying to write a macro to place books on a shelf (I know such things
already exist; it's more fun this way!). Rather than pick random titles
from a long list, I thought I'd see if generating random titles given
smaller lists of component strings was more efficient. To test it, I've
taken about 36 words from titles of Larry Niven novels in two text files,
and obtained a long list of 'Niven-esque' SF novel titles.
Some of them sound hilarious, especially if you're familiar with Niven's
work!
(Only one is a correctly-named novel, although several others come close...)

LOL This is great! It should inspire Larry Niven for a whole new set of
novels!!!
I particularly like: Barsoom Ring; Inconstant Time; Inferno of Pride
(amongst others, I must add)

The Inconstant Engineers...
Isn't that a documentary about some bridge project in Alaska?
