Yes, it's a random byline generator. I had fun with it while making this, getting a new byline every time I tested the site.

I replaced it with a real byline now.

I think it’s just that the one I got was attention grabbing in the wrong way, enough that it was hard not to interpret it as being somehow significant for the whole site.

I think the whimsy/random thing can work, but putting sexual references in there just makes it feel immature.

Ha, I got something about making love with monkeys and thought that sentence was lost in translation.

> getting a new byline every time I tested the site.

Did you make sure that it is new every time? I'd say a simple timestamp would be a better choice.
