Insult Generation Program "Wowbagger"
Richard Karsmakers
Reincarnation of the Final Grandson of Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged",
based on the character from Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
books. This program, once configured, pops up a specific intervals to curse
at the user. The curses are dynamically created from a library of adverbs,
adjectives and nouns, allowing for 689.052.481.769.016 different,
non-fictitious curse phrases to be created. The program can be configured to
swear at three different ratings (U for your kids, PGA for a bit worse, XXX
for the worst) and in two different languages (English and, yes, Dutch!).
A Wowbagger support site has been erected at http://www.wowbagger.com (this
is a new URL!). It includes download links, a manual, the FAQ, some
interesting news about a forthcoming new version, and more.
I'd also like to abuse this message to ask for anyone who'd be able to
assist me in the creation of a swearing words libraries in other languages
to contact me at cro...@42.net. Thanks!

Alrighty then. The "my sig start here" line should be "-- " (two dashes
and a space, nothing more, nothing less.
