Now NTKed. Oh, and [someone] seems to be using it to generate blog entry headings. - MoonShadow

(PeterTaylor) Nice one. Most of the headlines I've seen were semi-plausible, although "Virgin Mary told me to eat man with potato , says distressed terrorist" perhaps only in so far as the terrorist is distressed.

Its more of a Daily Mail headline generator.--King DJ
Are you saying the Daily Mail isn't a tabloid? Anyway, it can't be a Daily Mail headline generator; there aren't any asylum seekers in it. --Rachael
It's just the scare story headlines remind me of the Daily Mail more than any other newspaper.--King DJ

Ha ha! Excellent... -- Xarak

I feel duty-bound to inform you that this has lowered the productivity of the Maths & Humanities team in OCR this week.  I showed it to Nat, and he spent half an hour on the internet hitting "Refresh", convulsed in laughter.  Then he showed it round at work... --M-A



"Lack of exercise can cause obesity , new evidence reveals" - never! --M-A

Crime boss found in the White House --Requiem ^_^


MikeJeggo realises that the whole point of these generators is to produce outrageous and random statements, but he is tempted to think that on his first go with this one he got about the most beautiful irony possible - "My steamy affair with terrorist : Bush reveals all"
