Sold enough quantum spinal alignment bracelets at your office, Pete?
I just noticed Terry mentioned the radio tuned to a random station idea, +1 for that. Speaking of hardware RNGs, they also sell them as these giant PCI cards and the like, some expensive ones with all then quantum nonsense thrown in for good measure. From what I remember, linux drives two random number generators /dev/random and /dev/urandom, the latter injecting your PC hardware noise into the mix. I guess most devices like CPUs, GPUs will have a temperature sensor and if you grab a value well below the noise floor, ie the 5th decimal place or something (per spec), I imagine it's enough black body radiation to deter cheating on your QB64PE tic tac toe mod
