The Postmoderism Generator has been around for years (I think I have even posted to TIPS about it in the past). But I believe it was a spinoff of the Kant Generator frm the early 1990s. I hadn't been able to find the Kant version for a long while, but someone seems to have reported (a version of) it again: http://interconnected.org/home/more/2000/08/kant/ Every time you reload, you get a new one.
