Is it...wrong...that I would love to see an episode of Mr.Pickles starring David Berkowitz as a guest voice?

Santa's workshop is in danger of falling through the ice due to global warming

It occurs to me that one could make a killing in the philosophy game by taking a bunch of existing books on philosophy and running them through a markov chain program. So much of philosophy seems to be people randomly stringing words together and hoping they sound intelligent anyway that the process of writing books in the field could probably be reliably automated through this process

EDIT:
Another idea:

Comedy skit- On Sesame Street, instead of Cookie Monster, we have Cocaine Monster

Running on python, NodeBox (httpx://nodebox.net/code/index.php/About) has a Kant Generator built in (used to). Just open it and run. Code can be moded to change rules, and there's an XLM file (I think) from which to draw sentences. Probably just as intelligible as Kant.

The Tapestry of the Fates used as a metaphor to describe the concept of World Lines

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

The release of a revolutionary drug capable of totally stopping the aging process is threatened by a faction that wants to suppress it out of concern for the employment of funeral directors, priests, and nursing home employees.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

The sentient magic sword that decides the chosen hero is, in fact, lecherous, jealous, shallow, and possessive, and chooses heros based on who it thinks is hot. The hero is the only one with a telepathic connection to this sword, and the sword controls his or her destiny.

Horror comedy skit: Ghost vowing to "consume your spirits" turns out to be a drunk, not a demon

[THE PRIORITISER]

That's a pretty good one. I'd definitely watch that.

A game where the protagonist inherits a memex from a distant relative & must navigate the complex structure of interlinked footnotes, shopping lists, and marginal scrawl in order to discover who & why. This being a memex, the primary means of editing is taking screenshots of gameplay and then feeding those screenshots into the machine.

two related idead:

*folkloric Slavic boogeyman Koschei the deathless (who is basically the archetype for things like liches and Lord Voldemort; he's a creature who cannot be permanently killed bexause he has hidden his soul away in a secret box somewhere) has been the true identity of every Russian leader for the past 400 years. Every time a new leader has come to power they have been a revived version of the same leader who just died (or was ousted). All the Tsars, and Stalin, and Putin, and so forth have all been the same person.

*another idea involving Koschei, but this time instead of Putin-Stalin he's a boss in the Russian mafia and is at the center of a combination of Big Trouble in Little China and the Pulp Fiction fan theory where the briefcase contains Marsellus' soul
