That's bad, because the underlying random number generator isn't so great.

If you're running linux, you should get random data by reading bytes
from /dev/urandom.

Btw, I have a comparable passphrase generator on a Javascript page,
at http://www.nightsong.com/crypto/dice.php
if you'd like to try it.
