If you serialize the Random object, then it will have the same state when 
it's restored. I guess you should create a subclass of Random, which 
implements #comeFullyUpOnReload:. That method can reinitialize the seed of 
the random number generator. You may want to check UUIDGenerator >> 
#makeSeed if you don't know how to get a good seed for your rng.
