Scandanavian War Machine:
first paragraph of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas
original:
--- Quote ---We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

And a voice was screaming from the Holy Jesus! What are these Goddamn animals?

--- Quote ---Lost a friend to cocaine
Couple friends to smack
Troubled hearts map deserts
And they rarely do come back
Lost a friend to oceans
Lost a friend to hills
Lost a friend to suicide
Lost a friend to pills
Lost a friend to monsters
Lost a friend to shame
Lost a friend to marriage
Lost a friend to blame
Lost a friend to worry
And lost a friend to wealth
Lost a friend to stubborn pride
And then I lost myself

--- Quote ---A friend of mine lost cocaine
Enjoy some of my friends
Disturbed by the fact that the hearts of the map
They rarely come back
Lost a friend to the hepatitis A
Lost a friend to the Hill
Lost a friend to commit suicide
Lost a friend to pills
Lost a friend to the monster
A friend of mine lost a shame
Marriage has lost a friend
Lost a friend to blame
Worry about losing a friend
Lost a friend and wealth
Loss of a friend of mine is proud to indomitable
Then I lost myself
--- End quote ---
The fact that it replaced oceans with hepatitis A amuses me to no end.

That's one weird substitution. I find myself wondering what has brought that about. What was the machine thinking there?
