I evidently jumped on the bandwagon, because below is my contribution to the game (and you’ll notice I have masterfully blurred the names to protect the innocent). You’ll also notice that a game emerged…
Well, if you read those comments, you can see what happened. In this post, I present to you the fruits of our labour: a crazy story that makes no sense, made up of 33 sentences from all kinds of books.
I dedicate this whole thing to William S. Burroughs, because that crazy dude would have loved this sh—.

Serve steak with peppers and onions.
They reason that a triangular or pentagonal room is inconceivable. Organic chemists have synthesized molecules that behave like motors, molecules that mimic nature’s process in bioengineering, and others that hold promise for new molecular devices in computing. This image makes it easy to comprehend the social bases of the contemporary decay of the aura.
Depending on the enzyme, the co-factor may be an ion of a metal element such as copper or iron,r an organic molecule needed to assist the reaction in some particular way. Certainly, others were interested in the synthesis of RNA; but they were split in interminably argumentative factions, bickering among themselves about their favoured hypotheses.
