So sometimes when I'm bored I just click the "random wiki" link to read something. Just now, within 4 clicks I received the same article twice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locknut

I wonder what the odds of that happening are?

I call bullshit on not believing in random.

Random can be measured.

Maybe there's a glitch in their flux capacitor today.
