Since it’s almost time for the next season of Battlestar Galactica, and I’m impatient, given I’ve a penchant for doing theory mashups of BSG and net-worked labour, and since the human-cylon hybrid (or one of them) promises to be a significant figure in the next season (see here for a previous post on the hybrid), I particularly enjoyed these three bits of automatically-generated spambody that dropped in my inbox this morning. I append some of the code, remove the html, bold the poetry … The hybrid speaks. Enjoy.
