This is not what was asked. sort -R puts together equal lines. AFAIK,
-R exists only in GNU sort, so it hasn't even the excuse of being
available everywhere emacs is available (see:
http://www.informatimago.com/linux/emacs-on-user-mode-linux.html
;-) )
(require 'cl) ; for coerce
(require 'cookie1) ; for shuffle-vector
(defun randomize-lines-of-region (start end)
(interactive "r")
(let* ((start (progn (goto-char start) (beginning-of-line) (point)))
(end (progn (goto-char end) (end-of-line) (point)))
(lines (shuffle-vector (coerce (split-string (buffer-substring start end) "\n") 'vector))))
(delete-region start end)
(insert (aref lines 0))
(dotimes (i (1- (length lines)))
(insert "\n" (aref lines (1+ i))))))
