Many MANY years ago when I first became interested in computers I went
out and bought a Commodore VIC-20 computer, this guy of course had no
disk drive but instead one of those tape recorders that you would pop
a cassette in and wait 20 min for the program to load. One of the very
first cassette I purchaced was program where you could type someones
name and the computer would randomly insert the name into randomly
selected sentences (well it was a big deal at the time;-). This
program had some demo files so I ran them and it looked something like
this:
           1. The queen has very small feet.
           2. The queen likes her tea.
           3. Kate Bush is a singer from England.
           4. Kate Bush is a very mysterious person!
 
At this point in my life I thought for sure that there were only about
3 KaTe fans in the US, it just cracked me up to see her name on the
computer screen. Turns out the program was written in the UK.
