Hmm, this still does not do what I want:

SELECT columnId FROM queue WHERE processed = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 4"

Thanks to you, the query has been greatly simplified, but the result is
still the same: every once in a while (like if I run this twenty times in
a row), I only get 3 items returned, or even 2!

I'm guessing the RAND() function occassionally rounds the number to a
columnId (bigint) that does not match the subset of the WHERE clause?

Thanks.
