Pull real world quotes from Wikipedia or similar. #103

I think it would be a fun feature if this tool could query a random page on wikipedia, read the first sentence. Strip out all the non-alphanumeric characters (or maybe not), and then give it as a typing test.

It would help practice on a realworld dataset, and also allow for the enjoyment of reading a random wikipedia page.

The first step is finding out if there's an API to support such a query.
