Description

       Polygen is a powerful program for computing aleatory nonsense according to a grammar definition, that  is
       following custom syntactical and lexical rules.

       Formally,  it  is  an  interpreter  of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret
       means executing a source program in real time and eventually outputting its result.

       Here a source program is a grammar definition, the execution consists in the exploration of such  grammar
       by selecting a random path and the result is the sentence built on the way.

       Though PolyGen is quite a serious piece of software then, what else would be more noble for it than being
       used as a parody tool for linguistical habits, stereotypes and trends of this foolish era?

       Principles  of  parody  are  focusing a ridiculous topic and eventually abstracting its rules and schemes
       (here in terms of a grammar definition) by which reproducing it through the variatio device.

       And randomization is perfect at this purpose thanks to its purely asemantic behaviour =:)
