Nah, not sure if this is even distribution. Would be, sorta, if the
rand-function would be TRULY random, but it suffices in most cases anyway.
Randomizing points in a box and then checking if its in the sphere wouldn't
produce even distribution either. So why not save the parsing time of
sorting out unnecessary points?

Hm, yeah, right. Can't remember when and how I came to do it this way...
