I don't think it's really possible to know *all* the available pages.  I 
don't even know how you could really get such a list without running 
something like google yourself and constantly validating all the pages.

So why not just use google instead?  Write something to generate a 
random word or phrase, then submit that to google using the "I'm feeling 
lucky" feature.
