   I am pulling 5 random posts and i didn't want it to show the current post in this loop, so here is how to do it:

   <?php
   global $wp_query;
   $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
   $rand_posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&exclude='.$thePostID.'&orderby=rand');
    foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :?>
   
   <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
    <?php endforeach; ?>

   Let's say I want to have 2 loops... the first one displays the most recent 5 posts, the second a random selection of posts; however I want the most recent 5 to be excluded from the second loop. How would you go about doing that?
