So I did a bit of research into the topic and came away with a Python script to figure out the Base-36 fraction that will make Wolfram Alpha repeatedly say an arbitrary sentence.
# The sentence to convert (characters only, no symbols)
q='makeitstop'
# Convert string to a base-36 number. This is numerator
n=long(q,36)
# Get the power of 36 that is equal to the length of the string, minus 1
d=pow(36,len(q))-1
# Print out the equation
print 'convert',n,'/',d,'to base 36'
Once you run the code you just copy and paste the printed result into http://www.wolframalpha.com/
(NOTE: You may need to click on 'Hide Block Form' to force wolfram to use the alpha-numerical representation)
If you want to know more about the equation/formula I used, look at the following post http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/61257.html
