 Lorem ipsum generator in PHP without dependencies. Compatible with PHP 5.3+.
 
-## Origins
-
-Once upon a time, I was attempting to find a lorem ipsum generator over on
-[Packagist](https://packagist.org/search/?q=lorem%20ipsum). I was presented with
-many options, and some of those options were good. Unfortunately, the bulk of
-those options depended on Symphony or the Zend Framework. This wouldn’t have
-been a big deal but under the circumstances, I wanted something that was not
-tightly coupled to these frameworks because I wanted to use the generator in my
-_own_ framework.
-
-I had decided to use
-[badcow/lorem-ipsum](https://packagist.org/packages/badcow/lorem-ipsum) because
-it did not have any dependencies nor did it rely on any external APIs.  As I
-started to use the library, I found that I was going to have to fight with it to
-get it to do what I wanted. After digging through the code, I realized that I
-was going to end up gutting most of it to bend it to my will.  I know when you
-overhaul someone’s code the likelihood of them accepting a pull request goes
-down dramatically, hence building this library while taking cues from it’s
-predecessor.
-
-Also, the aforementioned package had a bunch of “setter” and “getter” methods
-that were grossing me out :scream:

 ## Assumptions
 
-Instead of having an option as to whether or not a string should start the

-a few assumptions are baked in. The first string generated will always start
-with the traditional “Lorem ipsum…”. Subsequent strings may contain those words
