Hi,

I have a small lisp code block evaluation problem generating org-mode style 
output.
Motivation and so on, see below. 

Would appreciate the communities help. 
Gladly will return feedback once my setup has advanced and you are interested.

Tks in advance, Franz


=======
= Goal:=
=======
Hava a random (weekly) generator of activities and / or todo items.  Think of 
everyday question like sports (shall I go cycling , swimming or running) May 
also be used for creativity teasers and any other kind of randomizable 
decission making.


(see why here:

)

=================================
= Current Stage / Actual Debug Problem  =
=================================
I like to get 
** TODO running
and not
| ** TODO running :random: |

What is wrong with my approach ?
(Yes I am new to lisp, but I hope that does not matter here to much. )

=======
=Code:=
=======

#+headers: :results value varbatim replace 
#+begin_src emacs-lisp 
        (defun table '())
                (add-to-list 'table "** TODO running :random:")    ;; later on 
some scheduling and tracking properties will be added
                (add-to-list 'table "** TODO cycling :random:")

        (setq returnlist '() )

        ;;later a loop shall be here to say make list of 5 items  )

                (add-to-list 'returnlist (nth (random (length table)) table)))

(returnlist)
#+end_src

#+results:
| ** TODO Cereals :random: |
