On that subject, I had an idea once where I'd write a program that would randomly select a class from MSDN, select some random properties and methods from it, document them, infer usage, and write it up as a blog post accompanied by images. Then, the bot would occasionally post off-topic items, discussing random items in twitters top 10 lists (perhaps). Eventually, someone might nominate it for an MVP award, and ask it to present at a conference, then I'd have to tell people that, infact, it was a predictable entity that they had selected to present on a mundane topic that anyone who had half the desire could research themselves in 5 minutes ... ...
