If they REALLY had too much time on their hands, they'd have rtfm and used mt_rand() instead. :-)

<muppet-comment> nah - if you really too much time you would have mimplemented some kind of interface that takes batch input from a cheap-ass laborer on the other side of the planet who sits there flipping a british fifty pence coin aqnd logging the result.
