Q: How many IBM CPU's does it take to execute a job?
A: Four; three to hold it down, and one to rip its head off.

  If you scale down the noise() function so that the bumps are small, and 
interpret it's output as intensity it looks rather like granite and is a lot
more flexible than a bitmap (though it requires a lot of computation).

  See Perlin's "An Image Synthesizer" in SIGGRAPH '85 for an example of what it
looks like.
