I do believe that Rob's answer to this question at FAST
last year was,

	``The probability that all the atoms on one side
	of the universe will up and move to the other.''

Now, whether that's scientifically accurate or simply good
for dramatic effect is another issue. :)

I still laugh when I think about the seat shifting that
occurred when he said (app), ``look, you just have to get used
to not deleting anything.  It's not a problem.''
