Wow, this got picked up on HN too.

My roommate wrote this last year as a joke for CMU students. It's a simple script that pulls from a pre selected discrete set.

Author is Alan Pierce btw.

The script is trivial! Just view it as a concatenation of strings whose elements are pulled from a discrete set of terms.

s/discrete/finite/

Although it definitely is discrete as well.
