LimerickDB

It's hard to improve on the Metafilter entry pointing to this, but the author of XKCD has created LimerickDB, and I'm convinced that if Topspin gets a hold of this horrific things will result. Which is why I'm compelled to link to it.

You could start with the LimerickDB top 150, which includes gems like this one:

A woman in liquor production

Owns a still of exquisite construction.

The alcohol boils

Through magnetic coils.

She says that it's "proof by induction."

A rabbi named Roy and a priest named Scott

enjoyed a lunch at a trendy hot spot

the priest said, "Hey Roy,

let's go screw an altar boy."

and the rabbi replied, "Out of what?"

Applause. Groan.

Laugh. Moan.

Not a tome.

Worse, a "poem".

There once was a man from Toledo

who had a libido the size of a mosquito

his wife did complain

until Dick became Jane

now she dances the show at the Lido

That woman, once man, from Toledo

missed the part that filled out his Speedo

she called her physician

because she was wishin'

she could go back to being a guido

Her doc's hands were steady as timber

his mind was sure and limber

he was ready to start

but he'd misplaced THE part

and he truly couldn't re-member
