    Use 1 pin for count, and put piece of wire on it to act as antenna, you should able to pickup noise from environment. I think that is real random...

    Not if you are within 20 feet of an AC line.

    How about using a Dallas 1-wire device? Each one has a globally unique serial number. Take the last 8 digits and reverse them, so that the LSB becomes the MSB. That way, if you get two that have sequential serial numbers, the result will still be significantly different.
