Brazilian coal energy company MPX:

U.S. Energy Information Administration (this is the “page not found” error message):

And in wholly unrelated news, Google Translate doesn’t yet get Chinese Internet slang 100%.

It doesn’t make any sense to me, it’s not slang.

I think they generated the stuff by calling a function that randomly selects Unicode characters from the Unicode Chinese character set http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs
