Statistically Improbable Phrases

I was trying to think of a good name for the blog using a David Foster Wallace reference. I googled "david foster wallace" + catch phrase, and it pointed me to this link at Amazon:

"Infinite Jest: A Novel (Paperback)by David Foster Wallace "I am seated in an office, surrounded by heads and bodies..." (more) SIPs: say her momma, entertainment cartridges, dawn drills, waste displacement, annular fusion (more)

So now rather than posting, I'm reading "Statistically Improbable Phrases" from my favorite book, Infinite Jest. The whole concept of Statistically Improbable Phrases is so appealing. Here is a brief description of this term from Amazon:

"SIPs are not necessarily improbable within a particular book, but they are improbable relative to all books in Search Inside!. For example, most SIPs for a book on taxes are tax related. But because we display SIPs in order of their improbability score, the first SIPs will be on tax topics that this book mentions more often than other tax books. For works of fiction, SIPs tend to be distinctive word combinations that often hint at important plot elements."

So... entertainment cartridges! It hints at an overall theme from the book, is a bit weird, and is unfamiliar enough to make you think. Good for a blog that will probably revolve around SIP's and entertainment cartridges.

Check out the rest - doesn't it make you want to read Infinite Jest?
