dadadodo for Debian
-------------------

DadaDodo is one of the class of programs known as dissociators, a coin
perhaps termed by the amazing Emacs hack, Dissociated Press.

DadaDodo works rather differently than Dissociated Press; whereas
Dissociated Press (which, incidentally, refers to itself as a travesty
generator) simply grabs segments of the body of text and shuffles
them, DadaDodo tries to work on a larger scale: it scans bodies of text,
and builds a probability tree expressing how frequently word B tends to
occur after word A, and various other statistics; then it generates
sentences based on those probabilities.

The theory here is that, with a large enough corpus, the generated
sentences will tend to be grammatically correct, but semantically random:
exterminate all rational thought.
