Q: What is this weirdness?

A: Sometimes, a piece of spam gets through my filters so delightful I want to share.  The dummy text included in these messages fascinates me.  It seems to be generated through a process similar to William Burroughs’ cut-up method, with random snippets of text pasted together to form something bizarre and weirdly meaningful.

Q: What does the title mean?

A: The title riffs on the book by Douglas Hofstadter called Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, described by the author as “a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll.”
