There is one obvious bug in your code: you are supposed to pass the 
function as paramter to register_callback, not the return value of your 
function.

- You are not supposed to create top level menu entries
  just from the plug-in
- If you really need such it has to be added to the corresponding
  ui file first (integrate-ui.xml or display-ui.xml)
- The random text in the menu might be an artifact coming from your script.
  In my experiments I haven't seen such.

If you want help debugging your source it is generally a good idea to 
provide a minimal working example exhibiting the behavior you don't understand.
