i put in "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" and got Arthur C. Clarke.
I also put in Ogden Nash's:
I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I could tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one
and got Lewis Carroll!
and Nash's:
Candy is dandy
But Liquor is quicker
gets J.D. Salinger!
