Text Widget Generator?

Is there a tool that would let me embed a semi-random text generator?

This is hard to explain, but:

I have a bunch of phrases.
I'd like to embed a tool on my site that lets people hit a button, and they get one of the random phrases.

That make sense? Any tools out there that would let me do that?

Would something like this work for your idea?

Do you use Wordpress? Because there is a plugin for this.

Response by poster: I don't use wordpress - I would need to just embed the html. i'll play around with the Java, thanks!

Do you have direct access to the code of the site, or do you run it through some commercial blogger software? If you have access, then deathpanels link should work pretty well for you, otherwise you should contact your provider and I guarantee that they have this feature implemented.

A small thing, perhaps, but use Javascript, not Java.
