I am guessing that some scripts would be needed to parse through a large
library of project Gutenberg and Wikipedia articles and then output
something like:

Sentence as it is
Sentence lowercased
Sentence no punctuation/lowercased
First 2 words of sentence
First 3 words of sentence
....

I am guessing we are running out of time in the universe at this point. I
would try to speed it up by taking all the sentences (break up anything in
quotes as a separate sentence.) and then sort them by order of frequency.
That way "To be or not to be" would be higher than "The genus spectrum of
the common toad spans a far distance."

Lord this is going to be a load of work :).
