You might want to skim Shannon's 'A Mathematical Theory of Communcations'. Part 1, Section 2 and 3 are almost exactly your topic. (Or at least the direction you've headed in. :) http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/what/shannonday/shannon1948.pdf -ljr Andrew Coppin wrote:

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/markov-chain can be of help for you. It's also free of randomIO.
That certainly looks interesting. Presumably if I train it right, it'll figure out that sentences need to start uppercase and end with a full-stop, and maybe have a few other punctuation marks thrown in. I'm not sure I trust it to generate valid LaTeX markup, but I can give it a try! ;-)
At any rate, thanks for the link - the possibilities for this look very interesting. (All sorts of data to be generated. And hey, maybe if I read the source I can even learn some of the theory behind it too...)
