How to randomly display multiple strings of HTML?

Hi, does anyone have any idea how to randomly display lets say, 5 strings out of 20?I am not talking about the usual random html scripts that pick ONE string out of many and display it (like quote of the days scripts.. etc).

Thanks

I said I'd like to randomly display multiple html items that can be pulled from a file or db containing many items.

I do not need to display ONE item but several items choosen randomly everytime the page has loaded..

 

On statis html pages it is difficult to get values from javascript from database, if you have php page then its very easy..

Or you can use Ajax to grab the values from database on static html pages

 

It's impossible to display random text from static page. U must use php scripts or put that texts into iframe static html randomly showed pages

 

I forgot to say, I am using SSI so that's not an issue.
