Anyone fancy testing something for me?

As some of you may know, I am quite into artificial intelligence and have recently entered a competition to write a computer program that can create original jokes and poems.

I wondered if any of you would be so kind as to test it before the actual judges get to it, so I can see where it need work.

Most of the jokes it creates will be pretty bad and the poems pretty surreal but we are being judged more on our program's capability to actually produce some material than the humour content.

To test it, please say "tell me a joke about ....." and then a subject or "tell me a poem about .....". It works better if you use nouns, so "Tell me a joke about a dance" will work better than "Tell me a joke about dancing".

At the moment, if it can't create a joke about the subject you enter, it will fall back on a few default jokes/poems.

(By the way, it doesn't know about Answerbank and so won't be able to make one up for that)

Thanks for any help. I will get to see any logs that it produces and so can amend it if a few of you are kind enough to test it.

Thanks for all your testing. You have given me some words that I had not previously considered and will help me enormously.
