For those who struggle to come up with original user names, band names, names for your children and pets, recurrent neural networks offer a way out.

Before opening this link, put that coffee down.
I guess we now have an official color.
Hurky White? It does look like something my cat would hurk up.
That was great, thank you!
The UK-centric among us might get a great deal of pleasure from reading those names out in a John Peel voice.
“Tonight on the show we’ve got the latest releases by Grass Bat, Stanky Bean and Clardic Fug. I’ll be taking an in-depth rifle through the back-catalogue of proto-goth visionaries Light of Blast, and live in the studio we have blues legend Hurky White to play us out. But first, how about a bit of Snowbonk?”
As a Canadian, I heartily approve of the name “Snowbonk”. 
If you think that’s funny, check out when she does the same thing for heavy metal band names
So many of these actually work its not even funny
Now we know how all those recipes in the gallery of regrettable food were created.
Color names come in two eras: before and after Binney and Smith.
Re: The chocolate/horseradish recipe:
I expect there were some words when she next met the researcher. Where do you find a whole cup of horseradish anyway?
Anyone else get the feeling that this brand of AI researcher is a bit on the whimsical side? Persuading someone to put a cup of horseradish into a dinner party dessert?
I must find a way work “stanky bean” into a conversation.
What kind of casserole did you guys serve for Thanksgiving this year?
I like the pick-up lines.
Hey baby, you’re to be a key? Because I can bear your toot?
Those band names are awesome.
That was both fascinating and hilarious, thanks !
Gray Pubic ?
I think I’m going to name my next kid Stargoon.
And a few hours after the stanky bean you get a little Bunflow.
Corcaunitiol Orange sounds like a reagent that one of the scientists on CSI might use to establish that the bad guy WAS in the house on the night of the murder.
Here’s the twist though: Corcaunitiol Orange was fairly well-known and the killer had cleaned up too well; CSI knew it, the killer knew this and the his lawyer also knew it.
Corcaunitiol Orange had not revealed any traces of the killer’s breast milk at the scene and without this lead to back them up, they were unable to persuade the DA to authorise a warrant on the suspect’s medical file (which might have proved he was lactating at the time of the murder).
No, it was when the defense lawyer’s tried to shut down CSI’s case by parroting of the suspect’s mispronunciation ‘cor-cow-nit-ee-ol’; this proved the killer must have laundered his shirt at Tony’s laundromat, and had bought the cleanup materials for the crime scene next door - at Happy Home Hardware; the only two places in Florida where the proprietors use that mispronunciation.
Horatio took off his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes to stare at the smug pair as, in a low growl, he delivered the decisive blow: “Surely you mean ‘cork-a-unit-eye-ol’?”
There is a car in my apartment complex parking lot with the license plate “9A9A9A”. My guess is that this refers to the HTML color code for “nobel”.
