hi Tim

I'm not sure of the context of your testing and how 'realistic' the data has
to be.  However I have used the following in the past:

1.  Faker - http://faker.rubyforge.org/ - creates plausible fake names,
email addresses, slogans etc
2.  Project Gutenberg - http://www.gutenberg.org/ - If you need to test
information retrieval then parsing out sentences / paragraphs from one or
more books is quite useful.
3.  Geonames provide creative commons licensed geographical information
about places - http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/ - this has a mix of
numeric and textual fields

Cheers

Gordon
