I have a rubber stamp that numbers things. By increments of 1. So boring.
How many times have I wanted to number things in a more interesting series?
Perhaps random numbers, primes, or Fibonacci?
Well, never, actually. But if I did, I'd love it to be with that inky, low-res, manual
stamper.

I tend to file things at random; this would help make
chaos out of order. |

I wonder how difficult it would be to build a mechanical linear feedback shift register, which would generate a pseudo-random number pattern. |

If your stamp had 10 digits, and generated Fibonacci
numbers starting from 1 and 1, you could only do 49
stamps before running out of space. |

I think - not very, for those skilled in the art of mechanical design. |
