javascript

Hello

I have started work on an existing site.  There is a ranger diary that is
updated daily and every couple of days they are put together and there are
hundreds of pages.

At the top there is a JavaScript, that no-one remembers how it got there but
they copied it forward every page.
All it seems to do is that before the page loads - for a second there is a
row of text at the top of the page.

I am getting rid of excess FrontPage code and fixing graphics and that sort
of thing and want to delete the code.
Just to be on the safe side, as I don't know JavaScript, could someone email
me and tell me what this script does.

<script>

var axel = Math.random() + ""

var rand1 = axel.charAt(5)

var rand2 = (axel.charAt(6) == "0") ? "1" : axel.charAt(6)

var ord = rand1 + rand2 + ""

</script>

It is in the head of the page.  There is no script mentioned in the body.
thanks
Moira
