You caught me ;-)

I'm a python addict and I can't help myself.

######################################
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import string
import whrandom

for s in sys.stdin.readlines ():
    for l in s:

        if l in string.letters:
            if whrandom.randint (0,1):
                l = string.upper (l)
            else:
                l = string.lower (l)
        sys.stdout.write (l)

Simple, but effective.

Best,

Ben
