Considering that a substantial number of people believe the universe to be
deterministic, the concept of randomness is by its own nature, flawed.  Perhaps
one could predict (or track or study in some other way) Lotto.  Since the
original poster was courteous enough to ask if there was a more appropriate
group, your reply was totally uncalled for.  Think before you post.  The world
may or may not revolve around you.  And if you really don't know or care, then
just shut up.
