Old thread, I know... but it's worth a shot.

1) I'd probably build the largest dictionary you can ammass. Arrange them into buckets by part of speech.

2)Then, build a grammar that can make several types of sentences. "Type" of sentence is determined by permutations of parts of speech.

3)Randomly (or as close to random as possible), pick a type of sentence. What is returned is a pattern with placeholders for parts of speech (n-v-n would be noun-verb-noun)

3)Pick words at random in each part of speech bucket to stand in for the placeholders. Fill them in. (The example above might become something like car-ate-bicycle.)

4)randomly scan each character deciding whether or not you want to replace it with either a similar-sounding character (or set of characters), or a look-alike. This is the hardest step of the problem.

5) resultant password would be something like kaR@tebyCICle

6) laugh at humorous results like the above that look like "karate bicycle"
