Did you ever notice...
...how when you randomly do something you often repeat a pattern?
I was just troubleshooting a script I'm writing when I noticed something odd. I must have created 100+ users over the last few weeks to test different functions. For the information that isn't critical for the tests, I usually just randomly go at the keyboard. Well, I thought it was random. I was looking over the database and many of my "users" have this email: gkghjghj
Those same users have this address: dgfjkljkl
It's not only interesting because I keep entering the same "random" pattern, I am entering the patterns in the same fields as well. Funny how the brain works.
Okay, sorry about the strange post, but on so little sleep the strangest things seem interesting and worth sharing...

Maybe your brain needs an SRAND() random seeding function

Because when you enter something random on your keyboard, you'll most likely chose the middle row of letters to type anything random.
Can you be scared half to death twice?
