This is the alternative to doing something useful
I spent yesterday morning tinkering with cars while it was raining and the afternoon watching a hillclimb for off roaders near my home. Because of the heavy rain it became incredibly muddy. Great fun for me watching, not so great for the people using the same dirt roads the offroaders used for access as the racers insisted on speeding and created ruts that now need 12" of ground clearance to pass. Jerks! How to win friends and influence people!
Anyway, today is Monday, it is sunny, I'm supposed to be working and I'm trying to find excuses not to start. I've thought of an excuse to drive to town this afternoon which will take care of my 911 addiction, but for this morning the best I've found is to: Open an MS word document. Type = rand (200,99) and then hit the return key. Wait a couple of seconds. If you want to waste time in front of a screen and keyboard try it ![]() No, I don't know what it means. or why it happens.

You sir, are a slacker. A procrastinator. A scurrilous wastrel. In short, a fellow after my own heart.
It's the most profitable route, in the long run. Perhaps not in fiscal terms, but we may profess moral riches accrued by the continued accumulation of entirely unnecessary information. Long may you idle. Suspect rand is a macro feature never implemented. MS software is bloated with such "features"

My dear fellow you are absolutely correct.
My deadline is Monday 17th 9:30am and I am heading for the lake to oggle the girls from behind the safety of my raybans. No comment on MS being bloated is needed.

It's used to generate a whole bunch of text for testing formatting.
=rand(lines,sentences)
