[microsound] OT: those programs spammers use to generate random text?



like everyone, i'm guessing, i get a couple spam e-mails a day for stocks, get rich quick schemes, overseas pharmacies, whatever... at the bottom of these spam e-mails are usually a couple paragraphs of sentences, which make sense a little, but seem like they are generated by some sort of algorithm, in order to bypass spam filters... i really like the nonsensical stuff at the bottom of these junk e-mails, believe it or not, and i'm wondering if there is some kind of online application used for generating these kinds of passages? it really reminds me a bit of david byrne lyrics circa remain in light! generative poetry or lyrics... i love it! does anyone know how these bits of text are generated and where i might find a similar app to do such a thing? i promise i won't use it for evil - only for art... well... okay. maybe for evil art. but that's it, i swear.
