For those that haven't looked at the NPR puzzle url I sent a few minutes
ago, the last puzzle was also fun & possible scriptable:
A pangram is a sentence that has all letters of the alphabet in it.
For example: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG. FEW QUIPS
GALVANIZED THE MOCK JURY BOX. Now create your own pangram that
includes the name of a famous person. This can be the last name, full
name, or any kind of name, as long as we know who it is. It can be of
any length, although all other things being equal, shorter is better.
Entries were judged on meaning, syntax and overall elegance.
The winning entry had 30 letters, which is pretty good. Do shorter
examples exist? Using /usr/dict/words [or whatever], can anyone
demonstrate a script that can produce an English sentence as close as
possible to 26 letters?
