;; A simple version of Ian Bogost's method of generating "Latour Litanies"
|
|
;; from random wikipedia titles as an exercise in ontography, metaphorism,
|
|
;; and carpentry
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Currently uses wikipedia titles as elements. Might be extended to use
|
|
;; other lists in other futures.

|
|
;;
|
|
;; 'M-x litanize-at-point' will generate a litany at the point
