KingJamesProgramming [1] - a mashup of Knuth books [2] and the King James Bible with a Markov chain, is still one of my favorite reads for a laugh.
It was also the first place I was really exposed to probabilistic-based methods for generation of novel content.
You get gems like:
"they smote the city with the edge of the sword. 22:20 And one of his main motivations was the high cost of proprietary software houses."
and
"37:29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and leave it for an inheritance unto the children of Gad according to the number of steps that is linear in b."
Just stating for clarity: it is a mashup of the King James Bible and the book Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which is not by Knuth (it is by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman).
