Well, it happened.
For some reason, while I was dreaming, I wanted to build a square out of random passages from Lorem Ipsum text. Something like this:
S Q U A R E S Q Q U U A A R R E E S Q U A R E S
I wanted it to be 64 characters across and 64 characters tall.
So I started plotting it out. Get the length of the string. Start each passage at a random somewhere between character 0 and strlen(LoremIpsum)-64. Do that four times. Write a loop so that the vertical text can be drawn one letter a time in a line. Then print the horizontal text as is. Offset them all by one characer so that they make the square.
It happened. I wrote a small and functionally useless program in my sleep.
