If so, Would someone be willing to instruct me on how such a function could be composed (or is there one already)? When there's not a specific subject I'm seeking to learn I'd like to be able to jump around randomly to find new things to learn. It's great fun on the wiki, just make a bookmark to http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=random .
