Ok... so this means what? That MS developers thought
that the rand(om) function should return repeated
identical sentences?

This would explain why theres no salt in windows password
encryption.

Finally, you may find there are times when you are working in Word when
words fail you. For these times, there's the Word Rand function. In a
new line, type =rand(6) and hit Enter. The text will be replaced with
six sentences of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." In
italics no less. If you type =rand(4,3), you'll get four paragraphs of
three sentences each.

Not even Bill Gates can explain this one! 
Try this: 
Open a word document and type: 
= rand (200,99) 
 
Press Enter and wait for 3 seconds....
