Putin wouldn't surprise at all. That's actually who I was thinking of.

What about others? Merkel? Abbott(ex)? John Key? Mohdi? Assad? Tsapiros?

Quite frankly, I can't imagine Merkel having sex at all. She's like the living incarnation of prudishness.

I don't know when Merkel came to Brisbane she literally was at the pub taking selfies with people drinking there.

What self-respecting German wouldn't spend the evening at the pub?

I'm an American with a public school education.  If a world leader isn't in the news, I don't know who they are. And there's a better than 50% chance I can't find the country they run on a map. Or know it's a country.

So, prompted by a comment on Markov chain text generators, which take a body of text and derive semi-random sentences from them, I found one here where you can insert as many sentences as you like and generate results from it.

I had been sending photo updates to my family and friends while on my various travels (fossil digs, attending college, etc.), and input all the descriptions in the slideshows into the text generator to create a series of 20 sentences. One of the best results:

Quote
Phillip J. Currie (center, left of the two Castles, which really does look like
a lichen or a plant fossil, this structure is a reconstruction are on display,
and the split neural spine on top of M Hill. OOGA CHUKKA! The school would
remain closed on Monday due to a recently-excavated tibia that came out in three
pieces. Normally, field jackets is quite necessary in the center and the dark
rocks in the 60-degree temperatures the next trip there. A general idea of
evolution. Maybe you could ask Punkin? A freak snowstorm hit Rapid City makes
for a good introduction to the rest of western North America, the American
Southwest, which seem to form their own unique subgroup. This specimen is also
found in Alberta’s Late Cretaceous formations in western Montana. A thick haze
hangs in the background are all basalt, an igneous formation nearby. Inside one
of only two baby Stegosaurus ever found. Named “Ms. Spike,” it was given the
name Bambiraptor, it may look like bunches of grapes are actually distant
relatives of squid, were found at the Journey Museum on October 12 for Earth
Science Week. AAAAAAAAAAAA!! The members of Feliformia, aka “The Ascent of
Cat”. The other branch of modern carnivorous mammals, Caniformia, includes
dogs, bears, seals, and the ischium (another pelvic bone) on the upper jaw, but
not enough to have drowned in the woods. This piece of T. rex bite marks, and an
Edmontosaurus stands in the Badlands, approximately 35 million years old. I went
to recover a hadrosaur skeleton as found in the bottom right specimen of
Stegoceras was the town of Rowley just north of Drumheller. Canadian Pacific
Railroad caboose and wooden grain elevators.

EDIT: Some isolated stuff from other attempts:

"Highlights of this trip had to die."

"The whole group, minus Harry who was known for baking people into meatpies."

"light gray layers represents sandstone and darker gray layers represents sandstone and
darker gray layers represents sandstone and darker gray layers represents
sandstone and darker gray layers are tilted up"

"This area saw a deer at close range in the air, coming from the remains."

"They were both large and small."

"A building has been doing field work one night."

"Hoodoos are a Snort."

"Minerals are continually dissolved out of his head."

"The site is packed full of women."

"He/she is quite the experience"

Very pretty.

Although is it just me, or did a lot of people get rid of their avatars recently? (Barbarella, Eiki-mun, and Askold all come to mind)

Two things: wait, my avatar's gone? When did that happen?

And... wait, someone noticed me? How did that happen?


EDIT: Wow, my avatar was gone, and I somehow never noticed. I replaced it now.

Wha? I hadn't noticed that my avatar was missing. I'll fix that after work.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I figured the forum had shat the bed. It happened to me as well, but I replaced it fairly quickly.

Rookie, don't you know not to do that by now?  We're still cleaning up from your first existential catastrophe.

Ha! The nice thing about being Non-Euclidian is not having to worry about that nonsense. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm heading out in.
