Which writer are you?

I tried pasting a few emails in, my personal emails most frequently came out as Lewis Caroll and my work ones were more often Edgar Allen Poe.

It's probably a load of sh!te.

[Bosh]

Edgar Allen Poe or Mark Twain, seemingly at random.

[KrazyHorse]

Posted a bunch of different things. Ended up with somebody different every time.

Nietzsche, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Plato, Lewis Carroll, etc

[Pekka]

I get like 79% Oscar Wilde

Here's what I wrote:
Yes, it is true. I was not a gay, I cannot be but a humble hetero of the tradition; I am a true cocksman for the ladies. The ladies do love me for they have no choice in this matter. God gave me the sword - the sword of love - that ultimately decides generation after generation what shall come. Or who shall ***.

In these magnificent surroundings, I will take a piss from the balcony. Balconies, you see, are an important element of both height and prestige. Therefore balconies are about power and style. Just like a pimp, these two cannot be separated nor broken.

I must say, with little practice, I can beat Wilde himself!

Normally I would think that this type of tool is totally worthless, but I think that it's nailed you pretty accurately, pekka.

[Tuberski]

I wrote "(poster name that rhymes with delicious) is a tool" and got Edgar Rice Burroughs.

ACK!

[GePap]

I wrote:

"are you a carni-wimp?" and got:

William Shakespeare

Neitzsche is god afterall!

[SlowwHand]

Mark Twain
There is not a lot of text, with more text I can be more accurate! This text hardly resembles to any of the great authors, the closest I can think of is Mark Twain . You may want to give it some work before somebody else than me get to read it
7% alike!

[Kuciwalker]

Apparently Shelley is 47% Poe.

[Solomwi]

I pasted in all 30 pages of my law school paper on campaign finance reform and got Plato (54%). The individual sections each got Plato, but ranged from 14-77%. Damn, now I kind of wish I could take it seriously.

[Wernazuma III]

I'm having my morning coffee, and this inspired me to write the following text which makes me 44% Leo Tolstoi.

Oh how great this pain,
my bottom hurts
from withholding the scat of yesterday's feast.
And all that while
I drink some coffee,
foolish me.

Now I've won the battle,
the **** confined,
in the depths of the intestinal gaol,
subject to my will.
Pyrrhic victory,
the thin brown line I cannot hide,
I put my pants in the laundry basket.
