Just a fun little script I made up whilst I was bored. The script is attached below.

Output:
Fun fact - A butterfly can smell with its legs and hear with its wings.

Odd Word - Sophrosyne - the quality of wise moderation or discreet good sense.

Fun fact - The youngest Pope, John XII, was 18 years old when elected.
18. You can do something with your life. You want to be the boss of a church who rapes underage boys.

Cool script. The fun fact and the odd word is on the same page so the code should grab the page once in each iteration of the loop instead of twice. Just save the GetPage result to a variable and use it in the loop.


for i := 0 to whatever do
begin
html := getpage('http://www.brainbashers.com/');
// get fun fact using var html
// get odd word using var html
end;
