  Better way to make random sequence

I'm trying to create a scene which relies on the random placement/sizing 
of blobs to form "rough ground".  Unfortunately, the random number 
generators in Povray aren't very random (if I'm reading the help file 
correctly there is just a random series of numbers that the system runs 
through).  Any ways, as a result of this a pattern forms in the 
topography that I am generating, and that is exactly what I'm trying to 
avoid.  Has anyone out there figured out a better random-number 
generator, or know of a way in which I can make pov-rays random number 
generator a little more random.  Any advice (macro, code, formula or 
even just ideas) is appreciated. . .

Thanx in advance

Bryan
