Well over at the NY Times Paper Cuts Blog-
I entered my last blog post and was told I write like Edgar Allan Poe. (Judging from the Twitter traffic, so do a lot of other people.)
Pretty neat. But then a colleague plugged in a paragraph from Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher” and was told it sounded like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Why is a raven like a writing blog?
Randal,
Go ask Lenore
I think she'll know
I used this post as a sample and got David Foster Wallace.
Über,
I don't know David Foster Wallace all that well and this is the second time this month that I've Googled him without remembering who he is. Yet I would say that post reminded me more of an angry David Sedaris, with distinct Don Rickles overtones.
BTW, don't Sandra Lee it...never Sandra Lee it. She has some decent ideas, but her ingredients? Everybody loves Sarah Lee, but Sandra Lee? A big "meh" at best.
