Freebase; choose a random entry?
1) Is there a way to select a random entry from Freebase? If I make a limit of 1, it returns the same record sequentially. I could grab a larger dataset and pick a random props from that, but that seems like overkill. Similar to MySQL:
select * from profiles order by rand() limit 1;
2) Is there a way to tell Freebase not to select certain items in the set?
Similar to MySQL:
select * from profiles where id NOT IN (SELECT profile_id from approved_profiles)
Thanks in advance

Sorry, right now MQL doesn't have a random operator. This thread on the Freebase discussion list suggests using a random as_of_time as a worker process.
