It's rare when serious news programs break out of their tired formulaic language for something more entertaining. Over at MSNBC, though, all that changed for a brief few minutes thanks to a very strange computer error.

On Way Too Early, the news ticker began spitting out lines that read like an annoying English major who's trying to assert his dominance by throwing words at you that you don't know. Oh, and he's from the 1800s:

I am cognizant of the information about your extreme tendency to receive persona.

Only quite a fatuous individual would question the use of the mentally salubrious nature of sophisticated commentary, as demonstrated in this public.

Gentlemen I enjoy vocalizing sequipedalian loquatiousness, poor riddleschool wow.

LMAO. 

Turns out that the lines were somehow coming from an old thread called "make sentence with big words" where users tried to one-up each other with dense sentences.
