 		 #170145 - Using life itself as part of its computational matrix...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Justin Fontes said:
one could get an ant or biological organism and track its place on a 2D surface. Using the ant as a point on this 2D surface one could get a random number.

I don't actually think that an ant's movement is random - certainly not on a macroscopic scale!

   This method might work...you can try it....            01/01/70 00:00      
      Unnecessary complication!            01/01/70 00:00      
         Watch out for distribution problems for small ranges            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes..But for added randomness, use the table            01/01/70 00:00      
            Incorrect - the table adds nothing!            01/01/70 00:00      
               Quality often important even for simple devices            01/01/70 00:00
