Creative writing as explained on


I suppose the very first time I wrote creatively, outside of school, would be the time when I stumbled upon those very educational books called, Mad Libs. Oh the fun we had with those fine works of literature.

This got me to thinking of a good experiment with modern technology – the computer and Google.

I am going to attempt to see what would happen if I applied the Mad Libs idea to the computer, but twist it a little.

Experiment #1: Fun with nouns.

1. Go to and enter a noun (person, place or thing) to search.
2. Copy the first paragraph of the article.
3. Now go to
4. Under “Hot Topics”, copy the first noun that you come to in the list. (If it is a person I would not use it in a published article.)
5. Now replace the noun you searched in Wikipedia with the noun you got from Google.

Here is what I got!

Can you guess the original noun?


Birds are comical performers, stereotypically characterized by the image of the Circus bird and their grotesque appearances: colored wigs, stylistic makeup, outlandish costumes, unusually large footwear, red-nose, etc. (which evolved to project their actions to very large audiences), who entertain spectators by acting in a hilarious fashion. The types of their acts varies greatly. Although a few people find birds to be scary, their aim is to entertain people.
