The null hypothesis is true

The end of my current project is in sight! All the hard stuff is done, all that remains is cosmetics. After researching many ancient tomes and archaic manuscripts, visiting distant oracles and sacrificing countless waterfowl; I have discovered the secret of randomness! I implemented this in a short, sweet and elegant script:

// This is a program to pick the name of a random, nearby avatar.

default {
on_rez( integer parameter ) {

llShout ( 0, "And the big winner is: Tycho Beresford!!!" ); }

}

No, actually it will really be random; it passed a chi-square test. I delivered to Mack and Tracy for user acceptance testing and took a break for a bit. Life is good.
