>> I recall a story of a universite/high school English literature lesson where
>> 2 people sitting next to each other would "buddy" write a story. Each would
>> write a paragraph and the other would follow on from that. The idea being
>> that 2 heads were better than 1 and the resulting story would be better.
>>
>> The anecdote I recall was something along the lines of:
>>
>> Male and female student. Female student starts with Bronté-esque prose á la
>> "Mary was lost without her knight in shining armour. After all they had been
>> through together, she wanted nothing more than her trulove to be reunited in
>> her arms so that they could dream the lovers dream of eternity together"
>> etc.
>> followed by "Chuck couldnt waste time thinking about Mary. He was in the
>> middle of a laser-fight with Dr Evil from Zorg. As the laser cannons blasted
>> through the cosmos he could see the evil overlord in his sights"... etc
>>
>> it goes on to get worse and worse by the paragraph.
>> it's apparently true and hilarious.
>>
>> anyone know where i might find the link to it?
>> cheers,
>> Simon
