Many years ago - before public Internet even - I wrote a markov 'fog' maker. It produced complete unintelligible sentences.<p>But the thing that sticks in the mind was how, on the first run, one phrase right in the middle somehow stuck out:<p><pre><code> herbaceous..
</code></pre>
When you pick such a rare word in the corpus, you kind of railroaded into very limited continuations:<p><pre><code> herbaceous border...
</code></pre>
ok, where will the markov go now?<p><pre><code> herbaceous border disputes.
</code></pre>
Loved it! :)
