Metaphorpsum

A wise– if perhaps slightly pedantic– generator of metaphor.

Though we assume the latter, the cormous health reveals itself as a fattish input to those who look. The brains could be said to resemble defaced turtles. What we don't know for sure is whether or not they were lost without the sidelong dragonfly that composed their jump. Maintained correspondents show us how edwards can be playrooms.

Options

Give me paragraph(s) containing sentence(s) each; wrap them in <p> tags.

Huh? Numbers please. Above 0.

API Usage

Get paragraphs by sending an AJAX request to

metaphorpsum.com/paragraphs/<numberOfParagraphs>

metaphorpsum.com/paragraphs/<numberOfParagraphs>/<numberOfSentences>

limit: 20 paragraphs / 50 sentences

Or just grab a few sentences by hitting

metaphorpsum.com/sentences/<numberOfSentences>

Add a URL parameter p=true to get each paragraph in <p> tags

metaphorpsum.com/paragraphs/3?p=true

Using OS X or Linux? Try this in the command line:

curl http://metaphorpsum.com/sentences/3

And here’s a nifty bash script that copies metaphorpsum straight to your clipboard

function meta() { curl http://metaphorpsum.com/sentences/$@ | pbcopy ;}

Using Alfred? There's a workflow for that.
