It seems that it needs to sample more tweets. I've done 5 tweets, and 2 of them were exact tweets that I sent (they were only a few words long, and I guess they had words that I rarely tweet, so it had few or no other ways to go once it started repeating the tweet)

Edit: Then again since there are only a few words in a tweet, you'd have to go a really long way back to really ensure that won't happen. Possibly farther back than Twitter will let you.

It's more fun if you use it on politicians or celebrities. You get strange alternative world announcements.

It generates downright disturbing results when you apply it to http://twitter.com/Othar

Oslaka died 2 kilometers in order to come from seafaring folk, so I do it. I spend twenty minutes left! He is hideously scarred. My host removes his face a lot in college.

Yeah, I use as much tweets as twitter can give me in one request. Any more would probably be a too long delay for the end user.
