You could extend that random functionality and be sure that the same images aren't
duplicated as follows:
1) Generate a new random number
2) Check for that number in a session (or cookie) variable.
3) If the number exists in the list, generate a new number and keep doing this until
the number doesn't exist in the list.
4) Append a session (or cookie) variable with the new random number.
I'm not sure what affect this would have on processing time, but I doubt it would add
much overhead.
