Enter a word or short phrase (no more than four words) followed by an asterisk into the <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/ngrams\/\">Google Ngram Viewer<\/a> and it will show you the words that most frequently follow what you entered in the corpus of books and articles it has scanned. Use that new word to continue the story until you make a complete (if ungrammatical) sentence, then start with a new word or phrase. Since the prediction is based solely on the last three or four words, Ngram loses track of the subject and often the verb, which can lead to some amusing results. The words I used to start these sentences are in italics. The rest is produced by Google.
