The joke generator (with its long-standing ties to Mad Libs) is also an old genre. Bunk’s Web 2.0 generator was largely inspired by this Will Ferrell movie generator.

Just a quick note to say that we do have the complete code for the love letter generator. David Durand has been looking into Strachey's papers, and found it there. David says it would probably be possible to run it in emulation and certainly quite doable to reimplement. Jeremy - thanks for your thoughts.
