I continued to work with headlines and news. This time I used an API to grab the most popular headlines on NYTimes.com and pick a random word to replace with a definition from Oxford dictionary. Sometimes the results don’t make sense but every now an then an interesting replacement occurs. Here are some examples of the output (my favorites are in bold):
