Trivia Song Entry for NaNoGenMo 2021 Entry
I am writing a Node.js app that generates a song about Trivia along the lines of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Here is an example of the first few stanzas:
And now the song: The Internet is a magical place in the knowledge space, so what did I learn today? Did you know about Horton Hears a Who!? It turns out that Horton Hears a Who!, by Dr. Seuss, is an allegory for post-World War 2 US occupation of Japan. Seuss, who was vehemently anti-Japanese during the conflict, had a drastic change of heart after visiting postwar Japan. He dedicated the book to a Japanese friend. and if you don't believe me go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horton_Hears_a_Who!
So now I know about: Horton Hears a Who!
The Internet is a magical place in the knowledge space, so what did I learn today? Did you know about $3 bills ? It turns out that The city of Detroit has its own local currency, fully backed by U.S. currency. It's printed in $3 bills and features the Spirit of Detroit over the Detroit Skyline. and if you don't believe me go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Community_Scrip
So now I know about: Horton Hears a Who! and, $3 bills
The Internet is a magical place in the knowledge space, so what did I learn today? Did you know about Bryan Cranston? It turns out that Bryan Cranston, at the age of 12, encountered a young Charles Manson while riding horses with his teenage cousin. This happened about a year before Manson committed the Tate-LaBianca murders. and if you don't believe me go to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Cranston
So now I know about: Horton Hears a Who! and, $3 bills and, Bryan Cranston
The code is up with an example in the readme as well as a full run in the repository.
Repo: https://github.com/dbweissitarch/TriviaSong
Output: https://github.com/dbweissitarch/TriviaSong/blob/main/NaNoGenMoTriviaSong.txt
Note: Each run will randomly generate a new song since I do not set a seed.
