[ILUG] random number generation

[ILUG] random number generation

The best way to generate a random number without using a computer(aka I
have no access to programming tools, am bored in work & want to do a few
math equations).

For smaller numbers I take a handfull of paperclips, shake em, take a few
away & drop em on the desk, there's your random number.

Anything lager simply do that again & multiply the first pile by the
second, or have the second pile as the power of the first.

Anyone else got any other ideas?
