von Neumann said:

"Anyone who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits 
is, of course, in a state of sin."

Source: "Various techniques used in connection with random digits", in 
US Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, _Applied 
Mathematics Series 12, Monte Carlo Method_, 1951, pp. 36-38.


Following your rules, cut the last sentence of the last quotation or, if 
no space, cut the whole thing.
