When I ran the Generator about 40 times in quick succession the personal name "Alan Hakim" came up about 50% of the times, frequently twice in the same message.

I know about probability theory and the unpredictability of random numbers, but this seems to suggest either (a) there is a loop in the program or (b) Alan used bribery to get his name listed fifty times as often as anyone else's. Though I must say, I can think of better ways of self-advertisement.

Incidentally, my name didn't come up once, despite being in the Grammar. Sulk.
