LOLCODE in Lolcats

A Lolcat, as anyone who has ever used the internet should know, is a picture of a cat with a (generally funny) caption.

Lolcode is a spoof programming language written in the style in which Lolcat captions are often written.

And now, from the author of such wonderfully useful software as the Woodhousian Aunt Generator comes the Lolcode Annotator. Simply give it a piece of Lolcode, and it will produce a n appropriate Lolcat. Currently, there aren't very many cat images, but it will try to match those that it does have to appropriate lines of code.

As with most of my recent silly web things, it's written in Common Lisp, using the Hunchentoot webserver.

If you have any comments or suggestions please do leave them here!

Wow. I only noticed this this week. Thanks a lot, and be prepared for a traffic uptick from the LOLCODE front page...
