      Not sure where i can get info about this, so i am cross-posting...
     
      A few years ago, a computer somewhere (a college, i believe) was
      programmed to write a book - a work of fiction, generated by the
      computer itself -- i believe it was a mystery, titled something
      very unusual, like:  THE POLICEMAN'S PARTIALLY-CONSTRUCTED
      MOUSTACHE --
     
      Does anyone know the exact college/location this took place,
      the year, the full title, and any other info. on this matter?
     
      I have written a very poor model, which generates random
      sentences -- humorous, but i'm sure it pales by comparison
      to its inspiration...  (It has a limited vocabulary : under
      300 words to this date)
     
      Anyway, i'd like to include the inspiration in the documentation...
      So if anyone has A N Y info., i'd very greatly appreciate it...
     
      Thank you...
     
      adam...
