The GoogleTalk Oracle

The GoogleTalk Oracle

Mark McElroy is the editor of the American Journal of Physics.

The homosexual agenda is a threat to the world’s best goalkeepers.

Tarot cards will be issued to all employers.

God is not a dollar short.

George Bush will be re-elected.

Once you supply the first three words of a sentence, GoogleTalk runs a Google search, finds the most popular page containing that phrase, locates the phrase on that page, and adds the word that comes just after it. The program then lops the first word off the results and runs the process again.

The result? Bizarre pronouncements, dire predictions, and writing prompts galore (via MetaFilter).
