Imagine
a fathomless dark endless ocean , an expanse of seemingly infinite
water in staggering volumes. For instance the total area for all the
worlds’ oceans is by area, 361,9000,000 km 2 and by volume
1,335,000,000 km 3. Big in other words, very big. And in an ocean a
turtle is swimming and doing whatever turtles do to pass the time as
they glide through the depths, maybe thinking of lady turtles or
where his next meal will come from. Now we don’t know if it is a
900kg leatherback measuring up to 200cm, or one of its smaller
brethren, but definitely a turtle. Well, anyway there it is swimming
along minding its own business, dreaming of whatever turtles dream
of, whilst at the same time somebody unknown to us, and for reasons
unknown, too, chooses to throw a life preserver into the water,
whether it is an emergency, we know not, just for fun, possibly or
simply for the stimulation of seeing something rubbery floating on
the ever moving sea, we simply do not know. And at that very exact
moment, that very same second, whilst bobbing about on the boundless
Main, our turtle, which just happens to be passing, pokes his or her
head out of the briny and finds a life preserver wrapped around its
scrawny neck. We are talking very, very, very slim odds.
The These are the odds of you or I being born so enjoy your weekend!
