Today on facebook, one of my friends' friends posted an image of the famous Shakespearean insult kit. Maybe you've seen it? Maybe one of your teachers taught it in school, as a relief from the dire excesses of Hamlet? Anyway, in case you haven't seen it, or as a refresher if you have, here you go:

I spent twenty minutes of my lunch playing with it, and decided that what would be even better was a random insult generator. Half an hour and a little javascript, and wham! Fun for all!
Except that then it occurred to me: it's the internet, this kit's been around for ages, of course someone's already gotten this taken care of for me; and so as soon as I got home, I checked, and lo! Not just one, but lots, at different levels of coding expertise, on a sliding scale of attractiveness.
Thank you, internet! You've saved me some work, and I can share this immediately.
