Random numbers seeds

Features an interesting discussion of random number seeds.

In my own hobbyist use of the Python random number generator, I have not encountered these types of problems, but I would very much like to so some statistical analysis of the internal structure of samples of random numbers.

In particular, I want to write a sim comparing two processes of generating Soylent Green.
