sigh.
I've got more important things to worry about.
(But what was the reason again?)

Knuth's Art of Computer Programming dedicates half a volume to random number sequences.  I'm sorry to say that when subjected to statistical tests of randomness my post sequences don't actually measure up that well.  Achieving true randomness is harder than you might think.

Quote from: Donald E. Knuth
Random numbers should not be generated with a method chosen at random.  Some theory should be used.
