[Foundation-l] Is random article truly random

[Béria Lima]

Never tryed in en.wiki, but in PT.wiki we even have a 15 radom articles
selection to see the quality of pt.wiki articles in a small scale.

He did it 5 times from 2005 to 2008, and I never saw a sex article on it. In
fact we used to joke that pt.wiki is made only by French villages and
asteroids (because EVERYONE get one of them in their 15 articles) ;)

You people can see it all here:
