I can claim to have experience [0] with generating funny nonsense based on Stackoverflow data (what a wired thing to say :))
Seems like you beat me to my plan to make a Neural Network based variant and I really like the results (especially that they stay a topic instead of totally drifting off into fun nonsense like my Markov Chains.
Have you tried also using other Stackexchange sites as a source? In my experience they result in more fun questions as they have more "human" interactions (especially the more personal advice based sites) which creates things like:
- Do Greeks driving affect the whaling industry?
- Essential windsurfing equipment to fish?
- Do mountaineers eat grass?
- Can I toast
