i like the idea of sorta weighting the selection by user, rather than just grabbing a word arbitrarily. gives everyone a chance. there is also this way of analyzing text called markov chains, which use the frequency of words that are adjacent to each other to generate new phrases. i bet if we ran this on all of gridcosm and seeded it with the previous level we would get interesting results! i might try this. here is an example of an implementation that will run on any web page: The Mangler <stein.cshl.org>
