Command Line Lipsum Text
Just found a package (in Ubuntu, at least) called libtext-lorem-perl that can be used from the command line to produce lipsum text. No more going to lipsum.com!
Examples:
# 5 words
lorem -w 5
# 7 sentences
lorem -s 7
# 2 (you guessed it) paragraphs
lorem -p 2Install with apt:
sudo apt-get install libtext-lorem-perlWritten by Jonah Dahlquist

Combine it with xclip to automatically save the output to your clipboard.lorem -w 5 | xclip puts it on your 'X'clipboard and you can paste it by clicking with your middle mouse button. Use xclip -selection clipboard to have it under your Ctrl-V buttons.
