Yes, the generation of random numbers has always been trickery and a challenge to mathematicians. The rand() function of the c++ library generates pseudorandom numbers uniformly distributed. Check 


http://www2.kenyon.edu/depts/physics/people/sullivan/Research/BrownianMotion/random.html

to see a method to obtain numbers responding to a gaussian distribution.
I remember the book "numerical recipes" shows an algorithm to generate random numbers. I've got the fortran version of this book, however there is a C++ version I believe (hey, algorithms are beyond a programming language!).
