Funny Rock Band name generator

Bill Harris posted a great method for generating humorous and often surprising band names, album names and album covers.
1. The first article title on the Wikipedia Random Articles page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quotation on the Random Quotations page is the title of your album.
3. The third picture in Flickr's Interesting Photos From The Last 7 Days is your album cover.

I created a script to perform these steps automatically. Give it a shot!

    Neat

    But you'll probably have better luck posting it in the existing Rock Band thread.
