I came across this internet thingy that does William Burroughs-style "cut ups" - random rearrangements and deletions within a body of text. It is fun to use on your own writings, random finds, well known documents, randomly typed words, and homework assignments.

The top two links are cut-up methods. Below is other interesting stuff.
