It is almost impossible to create an RNA sequence that doesn't fold up
to look 'real.'  I have sequenced a number of 'random' RNAs of length 
100 (and subsequently folded them); they look as good as tRNA or
portions of Group 1 introns or any other 'real' RNA that you care to
mention.  Given that there are only four bases, and that G can pair
with either U or C and that U can pair with either G or A, it is not
surprising that reasonable secondary structures abound.
