Meme!

[active_apathy]

I'm back. I'm updating semi-regularly. So... a meme!

Because, really, it's THE INTERNETS. There can't not be memes. Or double negatives. Or icons of lamentable grammar.

Anyway, onward to the meme, kidnapped from packbat...

1. Go here.
2. Generate some random words.
3. Write fake dictionary definitions for them.

And so, with a small yet non-zero amount of further ado...

Y'know, I think Searle's Chinese Room argument is a theorot. That's kinda handy.

*reads*

I'm inclined to agree.

Were I creative enough/had I gotten enough sleep, I would be more than happy to do so. As this is, sadly, not the case, I shall settle for giggling uncontrollably at your definitions.

I admire your dedication with the phonetic symbols and everything. A good Yould engine to play this game would probably have a large corpus of English prose with a bit of poisoning from other languages just to add spice. Keep up the good work and post other entries here (http://ygingras.net/b/2007/7/the-scrabble-cheat-sheet-project) if you have something good.
