Well, uhm, a truly random page selector should be able to pick the same page
20 times, or rambot cities 20 times, or foods that start with the letter q
20 times, because if it can't, then its not truly random. so this is a bad
way of doing this. theres 35k rambot articles, out of 80k articles, that
just beans that rambot articles have a 7/16 probability of being picked. but
that doesnt rule out the possibility that if i click it 50 times i will get
years 2-51.  Remember that with random picking the last choice has no effect
on the next one.  soooo lets stop looking for patterns in a random page
generator... we could be doing real work... it seems that a lot of people
sometimes get carried away in details. dont worry people, once wikipedia
grows the randompage gen will even itself out.
