The instructions were funnier than the generator.

This brings up the whole question of random numbers. Even a gnereator which consistently gives the same result is random, as long as you have no idea what the result will be beforehand. Its just as random as a generator which gives a different result every time, because you have no idea what the result will be, but know it will be different.
There is no such thing as true randominity, just events that cannot be explained due to the complexity and quantity of their causes and influences.

We need to eliminate the concept. Down with randomness!

Incidentally, the colloquial use of "random" irritates me quite a bit.
Agreed. Random does not mean Ironic, Random does not mean Unexpected, Random means Random.

In a world where no one knows what ironic means, you'll be hard pushed to get a completely accurate definition of random.

Well that was a little random tangent you guys went off onto there.
Currently making Possession 2, a game where you play as a ghost and possess your enemies.
