Yet another ambiguous sentence that I've run across in NLP classes is: "The host smiled as he turned on the electric spit." I leave it to reader to generate the permutations... --ted -------

I missed the start of this.... Has anybody mentioned Pynchon's "You never did the Kenosha kid"? It appears in one of Lt. Slothrop's hallucinations during an experiment involving drugs. It parses/puncutates in at least a dozen ways. I'd give you a citation, but I don't have a copy of Gravity's Rainbow handy.
