Lorem Ipsum Generator

I needed lots of junk, realistic text for a unit test I am writing for a string formatter, so I looked around and found a cool Lorem Ipsum generator. Most programmers don't know about Lorem Ipsum text but graphic designers and typographers have been using it for years. They use it to pad out their designs and fonts with realistic text. It's also useful for programmers who need lots of text to test string functions and the like. The Lorem Ipsum Generator allows you to specify how long you want the text, either by paragraphs, words, bytes, etc.

I recently ran across this list by way of Kevin Burton that has hundreds of JVM options, many that were undocumented before. It is also regularly maintained. This is useful if you need to do extreme performance tuning on a server-side application, for example.
