I just wish I wasn't so certain that the developers of spamming tools will rip this off with shrieks of glee and use it to stuff our inboxes with yet more junk.
Very cool! I attempted a very primitive version of this for generating band names[1]. Now I'm tempted to port it to Rant :) One bit of advice though - the "getting started" section could be a bit more helpful for new users... it should at least mention the language it's written in (C#)!

My project was based on the Kant Generator, an example project from Dive Into Python[2].
I do think it's a little 'pejorative' to try to computationally define creativity, though.
Creativity seems to involve so many levels of cognition, and it really seems like you can automate it, describe it, or define it.
But as soon as you seem to define it methodically, and think you've got it, it changes in a way you can't anticipate, but which draws you into it with this force you can't ignore or escape. It's incredibly frustrating, but it's also very human.
Maybe not bad, definitely has few very cool features (rhymes impressed me), but I'm struggling to imagine when I'd actually need to use it. Sometimes I do need some random natural language text for testing, but then I usually just copy something from wikipedia or some book and it's guaranteed to be more random and more natural than anything I'd generate myself. No, hardly I'll ever need to generate natural-language s…
What are some real world applications which use this approach of text generation?
