No, sorry, I should have been clearer.  It was a system that used some 
genetic algorithm type principles.  So it would have a set of pages 
randomly created ala StrangeBanana.  Then you choose what ones were good. 
It then created a new generation based off of the choices you made in the 
last generation.  Only remember seeing it briefly while working on 
something similar and can't remember any details really.  I think I even 
sketched out designs for a similar system.  (Had a real fun class during 
my undergraduate career that dealt with GA theory and some AI).

Think http://www.electricsheep.org/ with webpages.
