Dear Researchers,
In the past, I've come across mentions of algorithms that do a
'mashup' of several different texts. So, given a chapter of one work,
and a chapter of another, the algorithm mixes the sentences together
in some aesthetic way (I think Markoff Chains were involved somehow),
and outputs a third chapter. The text is kind of garbled, obviously,
but still recognizeable.

What I'm looking for is links to working software (or web sites that
let you do this), that let you input several pieces of text, and then
mix them up and combine them using some kind of statistical process,
to form another piece.
This is merely for artistic purposes; I'm not looking for the
resulting text to make full sense, but a pure random mix of words
doesn't work too - it has to be interesting, has to be some kind of
recognizeable text.

Thanks in advance -- please feel free to ask for clarifications.
