  It’s one of the great mysteries of our time: How did the dinosaurs become extinct? Was there a conspiracy to kill JFK? Does the iPod Shuffle really play songs in random order? The Wall Street Journal looks at the debate that is apparently super hot among “random number enthusiasts.” And you thought your hobby was geeky? Fear not Lego Star Wars builder, you’re not the nerdiest anymore.
