A friend wrote something similar for computer architecture and microarchitecture papers. It's eerie how many papers sound a lot like these lately..

I just note that the link below, a subdivision name generator, submitted (by someone else!) a few days ago, got killed after being quickly upvoted to the front page. I can't find the HN link -- maybe it no longer exists -- but commenters suggested the page wouldn't even have been noteworthy in 1998, etc. I thought the tiny app was brilliant recognition of a formulaic part of our linguistic world.

Yes but this one is from Dr. Comer a well known computer science professor. http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dec/
Reminds me of Dack's Bullshit generator for Resume's - http://dack.com/web/bullshit.html
I suppose this is the academic equivalent of http://classnamer.com/.
You can have some fun building your own generators with "polygen", an EBNF-based generator written in OCaml.
A few years ago this could have been useful for me. I am always late to find the good stuff.
I love it.
It's the "literature review" that kills.
It's the literature review and six drafts of the paper only to find your advisor thinks your topic is no good. That kills.
I wonder who will be the first to find an exact match with some academic paper.
