The world's most boring book

I have been spending today at home rewriting a set of notes on discrete event simulation for a group of business students. It's a topic I dropped for a while, but had just decided to reinstate it in a slightly different form. I was working my way through the final lecture on random numbers, trying to shorten it, and wondering if all the stuff on external number generation was worth keeping. In particular, did I need to mention "A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates published by the Rand Corporation, New York", which in the past I have described as almost certainly the world's most boring book. I decided to leave the decision until after lunch. My partner and I needed to choose something to watch on the PVR while eating, and out of a choice of around 20 to 30 suitable options, he suggested watching your programme on the nature of chance, which I recorded about a week ago. There, in the middle of the programme, you produced the very book I was considering removing from my notes (and with much the same description). I make no claims for this being fate - I still haven't decided whether to remove it from the notes - but given that you made a point of mentioning your collection of coincidences, I didn't think I could let that one pass without some comment.
