My latest project is Modern Perverbs.<\/i><\/a> In a world where nothing is as it seems … two phrases … combine … to make a perverb. That’s about all there is to it. If phrase N is picked from the first list, some phrase that isn’t number N will be picked from the second, to ensure maximum perverbiality. The first phrase also carries the punctuation mark that will be used at the very end. This one is a good bit simpler than even my very simple “exploded sentence” project, Lede.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n (I learned of perverbs and their power, I should note, thanks to Selected Declarations of Dependence<\/i><\/a> by Harry Mathews.)<\/p>\n In case, for some reason, you fear the legal repercussions of ripping off my HTML and JavaScript and editing it, Modern Perverbs<\/i><\/a> is explicitly licensed as free software.
