The ConTeXt package is huge and provides dozen of

I was surprised by the unusual “Subject” line in my mail
client. But I don't hesitate:
My favourite command is \externalfigure [placeholder]
because it produces very pretty colourful graphics (I'm
bored to use the dutch cow or the wind mill every time).
Example:
\useMPlibrary [dum]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{
\startTEXpage
\externalfigure [placeholder]
\stopTEXpage}
\stoptext
You can also use my `\externalkitten` macro:

\def\externalkitten[#1]%
{\getparameters[kitten][width=10pt, height=10pt, #1]
\externalfigure
[\ctxlua{context("http://placekitten.com/g/\%0.0f/\%0.0f";,
\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr\kittenwidth},
\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr\kittenheight})}]
[#1, method=jpg]}
\starttext
\placefigure[left,none]{}
{\externalkitten[width=0.5\textwidth, height=0.3\textheight]}
\input knuth
\stoptext
