Adding to the chorus of [Awesome Lists](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome?ref=binarysludge.com) I offer the menial [Awesome Funny Markov Chains](https://github.com/sublimino/awesome-funny-markov?ref=binarysludge.com), a

> facetiously curated list of delightfully amusing Markov chain output, inspired by memorylessness

aka "the Markov property" (the memoryless property of a stochastic process - i.e. randomness).
