+I'm very sorry, there's nothing wrong with Random.Next().
+I promise next time I will pay way more attention. :)
+Nevertheless, please try the following:
+
+using System;
+
+public class Test
+{
+   public static void Main ()
+   {
+     Random r = new Random();
+     for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
+       Console.WriteLine("rand: {0}", (r.Next()*r.Next()) % 2);
+   }
+}
+
+This time (for real) I get 1 and -1
+But x % 2 can't be -1 !
+Why this ?
+If it would be so because of we get out of integer boundaries,
+I would expect I at least an exception to be thrown, no ?
