Write a script that gets a web feed from a website that offers random URLS.
Then download teh URL, and parse the text, checking each token to see if it is
a number; if so, place it in an array. Then when you have all the numbers in
the web page, use your random number generator to choose an array element
number, and the parsed web page number occupying that element then becomes
your random number. When you need the next random number, get another web page
from the random URL website...
