That's actually sorta useful.

Sometimes I want to test printing from word when setting up a printer for a client, and I usually type some garbage real quick.... sure there are other options as well.

=rand (#,#) same lazy fox, different # of paragraphs and lines based on #. (x = paragraphs, y=lines)

That first value... any number under 200 works. Change the second value and it will change the number of times it prints the sentence.

Easter egg?

Type =rand() and press the Enter key. You'll get three paragraphs of five sentences of "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

=rand(p,s)

p the number of paragraphs
s the number of sentences in each paragraph.

This isn't an easter egg, it's for font testing, which is why it's that specific sentence (because it uses every letter of the english alphabet)

Just like dman said, it's a tool to help you either fill a number of pages and test print fast, or test out the font you are using, say for readability when you print.
