Interestingly written with tangential language. I am just curious how you were inspired to write this...

About this article (Reply to this comment)
by B_Campbell
This was published as a corollary to iidays' "Fictional Rabbit or a Story Teller" article, which used a simple form of text generation. This article was generated from three separate Epinions peices by the author using a program called Babble! v2.0, which can be found through a diligent Internet search.
According to its creators:
"Babble! is a toy for people who love words.
Babble! takes samples of text from various sources, analyzes them for style and content, mixes them together in varying proportions, and then...well...*babbles*. On and on. Endlessly. If you take its samples away, it still babbles. That's what Babble! does. It babbles!"
This piece is an example of a deeper type of text generation, and how it can work given somewhat typical Epinions input. Because the three articles chosen for this particular example were from three different topics, the text is largely unfocused and mostly unintelligible. An example using multiple samples of text covering similar topics would likely produce better, more "realistic" results.
Also, because the Babble! software is very dated (released in 1991), advances in this partciular type of text generation have come a long way in the meantime. Though hard to find, more modern software should provide a better experience.
Enjoy.
