Well, my cousin threw down the gaunlet by proposing this quite humorous programmatic rendition of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s indominatable “I Like Big Butts”:
I.like(bigButts) && I.canLie(false);
otherBrothers.canDeny(false);
when (girl.walksIn())
{
if (girl.hasIttyBittyWaist() && roundThing.getLocation()==your.FACE)
{
you.getSprung();
}
}

SPOILER ALERT: The 30,788th significant digit is 4.
In all ernestness, I think Project Gutenberg is a great concept. But when I ran across this, I just cracked up.
