Hum... Kinda like the "I'm feeling lucky!" button on google?

Not a good idea in SL in my opinion.

A random Tp to some random grid coords will take you:
- underwater
- to someone's private parcel
- on top of someone's banline
- in range of someone's security orb
- on some abandoned land
- on some unused mainland

most of the time.
not to mention the chance to get a "You have no access to that 
teleport destionation" without even knowing what destinaion it was 
would be pretty frustrating.
And then there's zindra. do you really want to randomly land in 
zindra?


now, "take me to a random showcase destination with the same maturity 
rating as the parcel i'm on" would be kinda cool.
"take me to a random showcase destination with the same rating, that 
is not yet in my tp history" would be cooler.

bye,
LC
