  Well, think about it a bit. time() returns the amount of seconds since
some starting time. You are using that value to tell the random number
generator "start from here".

  If you do it again in less than a second, you will be again telling the
random number generator "start from here" (ie. the exact same number). What
do you expect to happen?
