Hi Kirk, 
I like  ;-)  

If you need a fast random function, calling 'Random' 16 times at once may 
result in poor performances; but the main problem is the use of 'Random' 
itself, see here:

From the 2 graphs that look like growing grass, the upper one uses 'Random', 
the lower uses 'Generate uuid'. The 'Random' function returns a majority of 
small values, while using uuid gives a good distribution (the opposite would be 
unexpected and boring…). If you're interested, there's a link to a small test 
4db at the bottom of the tread, it's quite easy to add another generator and 
try it.
