One of the downsides of jscript. It's random() method isn't repeatable or
seadable. For RNG work it's never a good idea to trust supplied ones, they
rarely work. I remember years ago doing a test on a DG machine, generated
thousands of random numbers inside a cube and viewed the result in 3D.
Damned if there wasn't an empty slice right through the middle of the field.
