> Anybody know how to generate a random number with a pic?

A finite state machine can't generate truly random numbers.  To do that
requires some external input.  However, it can generate pseudo random
numbers that are usually good enough.  See the HAL_RAND.ASPIC module of my
HAL project at http://www.embedinc.com/pic/hal.htm.  Its pseudo random
sequence is good enough for most purposes.  It uses timer 0, so becomes more
random if program timing is in some way related to external events.
