Dear Random.org,

It's interesting how many times I want to choose something at random. It's nice to have a source to do just that. I've been using your generator to choose a random drawing exercise from my drawing prompt book. Sometimes my creativity needs a little priming. Thank you for this wonderful resource.

Sincerely,

—Shawna, California, USA

My group at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required by law to conduct audits of randomly selected facilities. I utilize Random.org for the selection process; the format of the query page is well suited to our needs. Until I found (stumbled upon via Google) your website, the recommended procedure for ‘random selection’ was to go down the list of items selecting every nth one; actually these items are industrial or municipal facilities which store/use more than a minimum quantity of a chemical from a list of 140 chemicals selected for their toxic/flammable and dispersable properties. I found this methodology a statistical embarrassment; Random.org made it acceptable, and defensible, such as when a facility responds ‘why me?’
