Takes input strings and hashes them to output strings of the form "[adjective] [animal]". Intended to provide anonymous, (semi-)persistent usernames.

$> npm install --save animalonymous

var input = 'test@animalonymous.com',
    output = require('animalonymous')(input);

console.log("Input: " + input + ", Output: " + output);
// -> "Input: test@animalonymous.com, Output: Upset Camel"

We have two source arrays comprised of 591 animals and 1344 adjectives which get combined for a total of 794,304 unique outputs. The main function in animalonymous takes an md5 hash of the input, then converts the first 8 bytes to a 32-bit integer for selecting the animals, and then the next 8 bytes of the hash to a 32-bit integer for the adjectives. It then takes these integers and determines indexes for each array by floor( (int / 2^32) * len ). It then returns animals[animalsIndex] + " " +adjectives[adjectivesIndex].
