Travesty Generator.

The Travesty Generator creates a new text based on how often sequences of characters appear in the original text. For instance, for an order 3 travesty, the result is a text in which all combinations of three characters appear at roughly the same frequency as all three-letter combinations in the original text.
You understand this? Me neither!

Here's an example. Suppose the text is:
There was a fat turkey named Sam, who gobbled whenever he ran. He came out of the bush, presenting his tush, and was shot up the arse by a man.

The Travesty Generator created this new text:
There was shot up the by a fat tush, presenting his tush, presenting his turkey name out of the bush, and who gobbled was a man. He came out of the arse bush, presenting his turkey named who gobbled Sam

Minuet Generator.

In 1787, Mozart wrote the measures and instructions for a musical composition dice game. The idea is to cut and paste pre-written measures of music together to create a Minuet. The Minuet Generator is an implementation of such a game.

Just enter two 'patch numbers' and the computer generates all the random numbers and gives you the resulting piece.

Random Disease Generator.

Pharmaceutical companies make billions every year from disorders, diseases and medical conditions. Got a strange symptom? They'll cook up a cure and they'll even give your symptoms a catchy name if they think they can make money with it.

So to help pharmaceutical companies come up with new ideas for diseases and drugs they can market, the Random Disease Generator was invented.

Some examples:
Paranoid Hillbilly Teeth Disease, Paranoid Bush-Cheney Syndrome, Hypersensitive Bowleg Inbred Disorder, Hypersensitive Jock Itch Disorder, Acquired Tom Cruise Insanity Disorder

Death Cause Generator.

Let the way of your death be foretold. I know, it's morbid but using this generator is more fun than actually dying!

It seems that I, while on a boat, will slip and fall overboard. As I struggle to climb back in, my hands are chopped off by the motor's blades. I sink beneath the water as I bleed profusely.
