1. Sarcasm?

Interesting question Craig. I wonder, how does one detect sarcasm in text.
For instance, detect which of the following two sentences is sarcastic.

1. I really like R.E.M. There is nothing I would love more than to see
R.E.M. in concert over and over again.

2. I really love Buffalo Wings. I would love nothing more than eat Buffalo
Wings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24/7.


Doesn't it has everything to do with the context of the discussion? If we
knew you had a disdain for either REM, or wings, then it would be clear.
Having no prior reference, one can only conclude both of these statements
are true. I therefore envision you at an REM show with a bucket of wings,
playing air drums with drumsticks (of the chicken sort).

I mean, no likes REM that much, do they?
