non profit: Factling.com

I just launched (literally) factling.com. Its a very very basic fact website that I don't plan to use ads on (because adsense can't spider it very well). I was wondering what you guys thought about it and also most importantly how I can optimize such a small site. I'm kind of worried that spiders won't be able to crawl any of my facts since the engine just works off a randomizer script sent to the same index page over and over. Anyway, I only have 15 facts posted (I have thousands more I plan to add in the next few days).

Any input would be much appreciated.

Neat idea. Categorization would be better, though. Let people choose their topic and browse facts contained within. You can still present the random fact of the day/hour/minute...?

This would ensure that spiders can crawl the site.

Neat idea, needs a bit more "action" to it. Unfortunately, the danger in "action" is that it could slow the site down. However, if i see a fact of "First Mosque...", then i'd like to see what it looks like. Yes, you can leave the visual out when it's about the lions mating up to 50x/day
