=======
Allows quick and easy fetching of random records, or records in random order.
Simply pass the :random to the order in any finder method.
Examples
==
Find a random article
Article.find(:first, :order => :random)
Randomize photos
Photo.find(:all, :order => :random)
Caveat
This will not treat you nicely with large datasets.
