Okay, this is nearly unrelated to the topic, but I just had some freaky shit happen.

There's this website called "I Write Like" which apparently 'analyzes' text to see what author you share a similar writing style too. So I randomly put in something someone wrote on a forum, and out came Cory Doctorow.

Never heard of the guy in my life before. Who is he? Okay cool, so I'll go check WoW Insider.

"15 Minutes of Fame: Cory Doctorow on gold farming"

I guess my comment from this morning's breakfast topic wasn't really a decent test:

As it said I write like Edgar Allan Poe...

If I'm writing a young-adult sci-fi novel, I write like Robert Louis Stevenson. If I'm writing a historical account of the antebellum slave market, I write like Anne Rice. If I'm writing a film analysis for 24 Hour Party People, a movie about the Manchester music scene in the 1970's and 80's, I write like H. P. Lovecraft. And if I'm writing a blog post about grade inflation in top-tier east-coast universities, I write like Edgar Allen Poe.

H. P. Lovecraft was, if I'm not mistaken, a big fan of the Sex Pistols...

Something is telling me that perhaps this website just picks random names.
