I met this relation of Robo Poet tonight and he's got a sure-fire way of coming up with more exciting short stories than the ones you'll ever write.

Why not see if this robo writer can out-plot you.

I'll bet he can:

I say, I say, I say.. I challenge anyone: To spend three minutes writing about a frog with a nuclear bomb. Or you can choose one of these other subjects. [1] A fish which has just failed its driving test. [2] Two cows arguing over who pays the hotel bill. [3] A parrot with one broken leg and a US Army standard issue pistol. You get extra marks for making sense. But, clearly, it's not essential! My latest killing is: http://www.bookscape.co.uk/short_stories/human_sacrifice.php

HA! Well I did. I knew there would be a serious point behind yours though. I would have been tempted to write the InterWET and the World Wide Wet: but then I love a rotten pun.
