Essentially, you tried to make a Markov-chain story generator. Yes, it generates this type of texts, where short fragments look like parts of meaningful text, but a longer text reveals that it has no sense.
Seems to me that there is a mental illness (but I don't remember which one it is) where people generate the same kind of speech. Not sure what are the philosophical consequences for the Turing test, though.
You're probably thinking of word salad, most often associated with schizophrenia but not exclusive to it.
