Based on very fast converging series for special transcendental numbers. Is there some R code available? See details about the RNG at http://www.analyticbridge.com/profiles/blogs/new-state-of-the-art-random-number-generator-simple-strong-and-fa

(Broken URL above to make Gmane happy.) This article seems to be about attempting to get better *cryptographic* number generators. This is not a very new idea ... http://mathoverflow.net/questions/26942/is-pi-a-good-random-number-generator It could be a fun project, but I doubt it's better for practical purposes than the well-tested existing RNG algorithms described in ?RNGkind ...
