I don't know how many lines of HolyC are required for his program for ``talking to god'' but I can remake it really easily. #!/bin/bash echo -n "God says " numWords=10 #or however long you want it to be until [ $numWords -lt 1 ]; do sed `perl -e "print int(rand(99999))"`"q;d" /usr/share/dict/words let numWords-=1 done The output doesn't make sense grammatically, but then again, neither does Terry's shit.

also if you change 99999 to 235886 it works better because that's the size of my dictionary file (though yours might be different)
Notice how the previous program outputs I posted only have words starting with letters that are early on in the alphanet.
Here's the difference in output with 235886 instead: God says caudotibialis jailbird premove workable dissatisfied octachloride cinematographically acrimony polycotyledony wombed

he’s one of those old school programmers that knows everything about bit level memory fiddling and kernals but probably doesn’t know how to implement a markov chain.

>>11 perl seems really improfessional, like some old drunk dudes designed it at a pub
and it's so fucking terse! a 5 byte perl script is like 200 lines of java if you're obsessed with code golf, I guess it's good by that metric but for readability, it's awful
