It's worth noting that if you regularly use Emacs for producing random
numbers, you probably want to put "(random t)" in your .emacs file to
seed the random number generator.  I once wrote some routines to
generate random events for an online game I was running, and it took a
little while for me to notice that the same events were regularly
occurring in the same order every morning.
