Talk:RANDU

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is there no mention of IBM in this article, isn't it more commonly known as the IBM RANDU?

[edit] stop editing it!!

the oral fellatio definition is the correct and only definition so stop messing with it!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turbo Man Doll (talk • contribs) 01:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

--What you need to do is take this crap off Wikipedia and put it on urbandictionary where it belongs. If you insist on putting it on wikipedia, make your own page. Call it RANDU (sex act). I believe moderators ban people for this. (Assuming you haven't already been banned, that is.) And by the way, "oral fellatio" is redundant.--Simillion (talk) 19:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

In the section:

"As a result of this correlation the points in three dimensional space (mod 231) fall in a comparatively small number of planes, 15 to be exact (see Marsaglia's paper). As a result of the wide use of RANDU in the early 70's many results from that time are seen as suspicious.[citation needed]"
