I remember reading To Build a Fire in high school, heh. Was in my textbook.
Same here. I still sorta remember the food he had; bacon wrapped in a deep-fried biscuit, or something along those lines. Enough fat to even outshine McDonald's :P

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Gayest food ever o.o
I don't get it?
Either it's a reference to gay men being murdered in Nigeria or a pun about eating man-meat.

Edit: Whoops, meant to add this to last post...

EDIT 2: It seems to be well-calibrated. It has correctly picked out Wells, Orwell, and the aforementioned Wallace from single paragraphs of their work. It has a bit more trouble with Tolkien, apparently thinking he's Stephen King.
Also, you might just be feeding it back the same test it trained on - I'd expect it to be able to pick THAT out. Let me dig up some more obscure examples and run it by the machine...

Anyway, I can't get it to identify HP Lovecraft, even throwing several paragraphs in. Seems to be switching between Mark Twain and James Joyce as its guesses for paragraph chunks - when I pasted in the entirety of "The Rats in the Walls", I got back Dan Brown.

Doesn't seem well calibrated at all honestly!

Apparently 'fuck' repeated over and over for about a paragraph is something reminiscent of William Gibson's writing.

"shit" repeated over and over is reminiscent of david foster wallace.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The entire text of the U.S.A. Constitution, and the Communist Manifesto are written like H. P. Lovecraft.
The Magna Carta is like Dan Brown.

Wut?

Gizoogled Lord Byron writes like Dan Brown, apparently.

Unrelated: guess the source. :V
