 * hi at all, i have a little problem,
    `$myposts = get_posts('post_parent=1&post_type
   =page&orderby=rand&numberposts=1');`
 * with this code i display a random subpage of a mother page, all OK, but if I 
   put another mother page
    `$myposts = get_posts('post_parent=1,2,3&post_type=page&
   orderby=rand&numberposts=1');` nothing, the code display a casual page of other
   mother page…
 * where is the mistake?
    tank at all kikko088

 * i assume from reading the docu that `post_parent` can only take **one **id as
   argument:
 * > $post_parent
   >  (integer) (optional) Show only the children of the post with 
   > this ID Default: None
