The idea of using multiple calls to random is bogus.
Just see what happens with input where only 1 bit is set... and this bit
happens to fall on the first bit once it's shifted....
All other things will be zero... and only one channel will be 1.. so than
it's like asking a random(1) thing.
It's utter crap I tell you !
