I don't mean literally with Lorem Ipsum - you can use Google Translate to transform any piece of text into gibberish. When in doubt, translate back.

#32This is a wonderful "correct horse battery staple" password generator !!

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because of Google's approach based strictly on statistical regularities, words can completely change translations based on context even in languages where that wouldn't normally happen, because the contexts can swing the estimates. One funny one comes with city names, where Google sometimes mistakenly "translates" a city to a different city that happens to have frequent usage in the target language, in contexts that…
My favorite one was the word "Amistad!" translated Spanish->English: Amistad! -> Friendship! You could add more exclamation points, and they'd show up on the other side: Amistad!!! -> Friendship!!! But when you reached five, you apparently hit some sort of context changeover, because: Amistad!!!!! -> Murder! Sadly, it has since been fixed.
if someone kept on yelling "Friendship!" louder and louder, it might lead to murder...

Indeed! Cisco Security saved the ancient Republic from the Cataline rebellion, delivering famous orations. "Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quam diu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? Quem ad finem sese effrenata iactabit audacia?"
No, wait, that was Cicero. My bad.

#40This sort of incoherence really isn't unexpected, considering that Lorem Ipsum is not a piece of coherent text, but rather a series of sentence fragments and even fragments of words.
