Forgive my newbish post, but I need help with my first scripted object, and I haven't been able to find something comparable for sale or for free. And unfortunately, I need it asap...

I'm trying to create something to basically draw a random name out of a hat...or more specifically, out of a fishbowl. I've gathered that random number generators are basically illegal, so how can I create something that still works randomly or has the illusion of working randomly? I don't want to rig it...I really want it to be a fair draw.

And how would I format it to work when you click on the object, it spouts out the text or name? Would it read from a notecard?

I'm sorry, this is just all new to me. :)
