Since 1998 or so, researchers at Princeton have been operating a network of random number generators after one fellow observed that the randomness of the generator seemed to change in response to world events.

Baring Witness, a group best known for having naked women lay down in fields to form peace signs, want to generate some data for the [Global Consciousness Project](http://noosphere.princeton.edu/) and invites all of us to rub one out for world peace on December 22nd, the 2006 winter solstice.

Interesting idea though.
