UnGreek

If you've ever done layout or design you've probably used loren ipsum -- that's the dummy text used to fill in layouts, etc. Ungreek offers an alternative. At this site you can generate text from several different sources (including the US Constitution, an excerpt from the King James Bible, an excerpt from the Tao Te Ching, Immanual Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason", and, if you must, loren ipsum). A series of pulldown menus allow you to specify the length of the excerpt and a few of its characteristics.

That isn't the only interesting tool at Toolbot; look over on the left side of the page for more tools. You can combine multiple RSS feeds into a single HTML page (http://rss.toolbot.com/). Here's my blog's RSS feed.
