Weird words my Computer Invented

A while ago, I posted an article about a random text generator I made for Computer Science. It's has since undergone some major changes, but I also discovered a website (one of many) devoted to the text generation by the same method, use of Markov chains. On their site they included a short C program for generating text on the letter level (mine worked on the word level). I downloaded it, compiled it, and ran it on several documents. Luckily, OS X comes standard with both a word list and supplementary list of words like "altar boy and able-bodied." I fed these through the program and it produced some odd results. I made a list of some of my favorites and what I think the definition's for some of them are.
