Love it!
I'm laughing so hard! This is awesome!
Nice for getting story ideas too... I love this!

Shakespeare is very self-obsessed.
Mod
He also tends to make my sentences more 'flowery' as well as making up words I am certain are NOT in the dictionary!
Mod
Google, my love, never fails to entertain. xD

I wrote, "Where is Shakespeare?"
Shakespeare changed it so it said, "Where is the handsome and lovely Shakespeare."
Then Poe changed it to, "Where is the dreadful and lonely Shakespeare?"
I'm sensing a bit of a rivalry between them.
Mod
It was really funny, and a little weird.
H99 wrote: "I just typed "Poe?" and it became "Edgar the ever tormented and woeful soul; Poe :( ?" Something isn't right here."I got that! And then Poe added ':(' which made me crack up.
Quite nice. I think they're best friends.
Nietzsche just quotes things. But I do appreciate that.
Mod
Maybe that would mean that Shakespeare's sonnets on self-love were about him.
Sin of self-love possesseth all mine eye
And all my soul, and all my every part;
And for this sin there is no remedy,
It is so grounded inward in my heart.
Methinks no face so gracious is as mine,
No shape so true, no truth of such account;
And for myself mine own worth do define,
As I all other in all worths surmount.
But when my glass shows me myself indeed
Beated and chopp'd with tanned antiquity,
Mine own self-love quite contrary I read;
Self so self-loving were iniquity.
'Tis thee, myself, that for myself I praise,
Painting my age with beauty of thy days.
This is one of my favourite sonnets by Shakespeare.
Haha! This is fun. And the funny thing is that some of the things I end up with sort of make sense. XD Am I the only one?
This is the coolest thing ever. Haha I love it.

H99 wrote: ":( FORGET THEM. They're fake computer authors. The real ones, if they were nice people I wanted to talk to, wouldn't ignore me."Exactly!
H99 wrote: "But then, I think some famous authors were quite despicable people..."I don't know much about the lives of many authors, but I would like too. Do you have anyone specific in mind?
H99 wrote: "Darn it... I can't think of anyone right now..."That's okay!
H99 wrote: "Okay, it's been 3 hours and I still can't..."Haha that's alright! I'm sure you will.
H99 wrote: "Orson Scott Card, maybe. Ender's Game."Oh! I haven't read that yet! May I ask why?
H99 wrote: "Supposedly, he's a jerk. I have no idea what to believe and what to not believe. Eh, forget that example.
Edgar Allan Poe? I feel sorry for that guy... I don't know if he was despicable, but his..."
Ah. And yeah, I'm not sure about the character of Edgar Allan Poe, but I know he had a difficult life.
I think his life was very sad, and interesting in a gruesome way.
H99 wrote: "Yeah. Just like his stories. Interesting, but gruesome."Agreed.
Typed in "Hello to Shakespeare"
Shakespeare changed it to "Hello to the handsome and lovely Shakespeare"
And Edgar Allen Poe changed it to "Hello to the dreadful and lonely Shakespeare"

HAHAHAHAHHA. I wonder if Poe hated Shakespeare in real life. If I have my facts straight, Poe was born after Shakespeare right?
Haha I would love to have seen them interact.
H99 wrote: "Same... So fun, unless they threw things at each other."Agreed.

I am only beginning to explore the Internet and sometimes the things I stumble upon I'm not entirely sure should've been born in the first place...this is not one of those things. The Internet is a strange but beautiful place where you can write with Charles Dickens and play peacekeeper to the Poe/Shakespeare rivalry.

Start typing. Enjoy the hilarity!
Wanna see something fun? Mention 'Shakespeare' in a sentence and see what happens! He should reply with some interesting additions, and Poe might pop in to edit in his own way... :)
