I wonder if it is a substitution thing, where certain letter combinations are used. Or else a random generator using two-letter codes. Almost all of the q's in the text are followed by a u, the only exception being where the q is at the end of a word.

Also, though I've not done a count, there are probably fewer a's than there are the other vowels. U comes up moch more frequently.

Or it could be that this is the result of that thing where people turn over the spare computing power on their computers to people doing SETI. If it is, then the I in SETI might not be as high as we had hoped.
