Well, I'm probably jumping in at the wrong place, as usual, but I was a
little surprised that Besset didn't have the Mersenne Twister. I still
point you to "Object-Oriented Implemention of Numerical Methods".
There's also David N. Smith's code:

Isn't that a port of the Mersenne Twister C code? Am I totally lost?
Oh well, repetition is the key to humor. So either I've been informative,
or funny :)
