[KSB] This brings back memories of when I was a graduate student in
computer science with an interest in artificial intelligence, back in
mid 1970s.

  Time flies like an arrow.
  Banana files like a peach.

You can't parse it without considering semantics, including metaphors.
Natural language processing, outside of restricted domains, is hard.  I
went on to smaller challenges.
