  11. (3) a ~1500 page PDF of all of the sentences from every romantic comedy plot summary on Wikipedia (according to the Wikiplots corpus at least), sorted in alphabetical order

    Things get complicated when an office romance develops between the unlikely pair. Things get even more compli- cated when, after Polly returns home without Peabody, police suspect him of murder.

  13. hi, I did four nanogenmo (national novel generation month ) projects this year and wanted to share. in no particular order: (1) _Bobey Dig_: Moby Dick re-written w/a seq2seq model so that it seems like the narrator has a head cold

    Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale;
Toweded thee I roll, thou all-desdroidge bud aghogering whale;
