Or, just choose the day randomly.  perl can do this quite nicely:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
%days = (0 => 'wednesday',
        1 => 'friday',
        2 => 'thursday',
        3 => 'monday',
        4 => 'tuesday');
for($i=rand(100); $i > 0; $i--)
{
  $day = int(rand(5));
  system('clear');
  print( $days{$day} . "\n");
}

later,
