How to generate this kind of random curves?

Question

Is it possible to generate this kind of random curves?

I've tried IMagick bezier curves (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagickdraw-bezier.php), but even with 20-30 points they do not look like this. Here is my sample http://mechanicalzilla.com/sandbox/imagick/curve.php

Thank you.

I bet you could write an algorithm which would basically take x number of random twists before going straight to the exit coordinates. This also assumes that algorithm is smart enough to check the angle of the turn. (assuming you don't want to endup in knot-web)

However, assuming that this isn't your graduation task or that you are paid on per-hour basis to work on this, this would be a waste of time and success is highly doubtful.

Even if you'd manage to generate single line algorithm, doing it so that the lines wouldn't come too close to each other is close to impossible. You will end up with something like this:
