Ok they've been doing this over on Extralife for a while now and it is super fun. Post your fake band's album cover. Here are the rules:
1 - Go to Wikipedia's random article page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:random). The first article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to the Random Quotations page (http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3). The last four words of the last quote is the album title.
3 - Go to Flickr's Interesting photo page (http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/). Third picture, no matter what it is, is your album cover.
4 - Put it all together to make your album. Either crop it to CD cover size, or just use the raw image itself ... the only rule is you're only allowed to add the album title and artist title.
Here is the last one I did at the Extralife forums, I'll do another when I have more time. You really need only VERY basic image manipulation skills. Some stuff that comes out looks really awesome.

For the random quote page I think you actually need to hit 'reload' after you go the first time. It seems to cache the page.
