I'll post the code as soon as I learn how the hell do you make square brackets appear in DU posts.

[Moochy]

1. bracket entities

Use these entities for the square brackets. Interestingly you can only post it once, and subsequent edits of this message replace the entities with the brackets < >.

2. Implement Rhyming next :)

Neat, but now you need to add rhyming. :)

3. My goodness. This is scary. Look what I got from it:

"I think the Iraq government will be up to the task of defeating the insurgents. I think they dealt the insurgents -- I think the Iraqi people dealt the insurgents a serious blow when they -- when we had the elections. In other words, what the insurgents fear is democracy, because democracy is the opposite of their vision. Their vision is one where a few make the decision for many, and if you don't toe the line, there's serious consequences.

The American people have just got to think about the Taliban if you're interested in thinking -- understanding how the insurgents think. They have a -- they support an ideology that is the opposite of freedom, in my judgment, and they're willing to use the tools necessary -- the terror tools necessary to impose their ideology. And so what you're seeing is a group of frustrated and desperate people who kill innocent life. And obviously, we mourn the loss of every life. But I believe the Iraqi government is going to be plenty capable of dealing with them, and our job is to help train them so that they can.

I was heartened to see the Iraqi government announce 40,000 Iraqi troops are well-trained enough to help secure Baghdad. That was a very positive sign. It's a sign that they -- they, the Iraqi leaders, understand they are responsible for their security, ultimately, and that our job is to help them take on that responsibility.

So I'm pleased with the progress. I am pleased that in less than a year's time, there's a democratically elected government in Iraq; there are thousands of Iraqi soldiers trained and better equipped to fight for their own country; that our strategy is very clear in that we will work to get them ready to fight, and when they're ready, we'll come home. And I hope that's sooner, rather than later. But, nevertheless, it's very important that we complete this mission, because a free Iraq is in our nation's long-term interests. A democracy in the heart of the Middle East is an essential part of securing our country and promoting peace for the long run. And it is very important for our country to understand that. A free Iraq will set such a powerful example in a neighborhood that is desperate for freedom. And, therefore, we will complete the mission and support this elected government."

4. There's people that post like that.

Why use a generator when you can cut and paste.

5. My favorite part is

tarso-metatarsal.

That's the bone between a bird's "knee" (really the ankle) and it's "foot" (really the toes).
