Paste a passage from your favourite speculative fiction, replacing all the proper nouns with “Lemmy”. Then I’ll try to guess where it came from without using google :)

    Someone guessed my example, so here’s another:

    For instance, on the planet Lemmy, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, Lemmy, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

      Hahah, that one was easy for me! I love that book. The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
