70%. I work at a publishing house, and I must say, I’ve seen worse. Did anyone else actually like some of the sentences?

80%. Missed Paul Revere & bitter pill. A bitter end to the whole affair.

Wow. I got 30%, and one of those was a freebie because I remembered the 2007 winner. I am impressed (and maybe disturbed) at your ability to crank out those ridiculous sentences! (How long did it take to write them all?)

Sadly I scored only a 60% which just served to remind me that I was “stealing” time from work while perusing the internet instead of watching for shop lifters in the children’s section as my position of Chief of Candyland Security dictated.

90%, but I recognized almost all of them from the books. I used to write sentences like this in junior high school, for vocabulary words in English class…

Some of those were hard to wrap your mind around, they were so bad.
