Everybody will agree that the chance of snake eyes at dice is 1/36, for example.  While diferent people will assign different probabilities to "a whale will fall from the sky into the Grand Canyon",  most will pick a very small number.
This recent BBC article may interest you.

'Scientists count whales from space' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-26075274

And I didn't even know that whales came from space.  Wink
Depends on whether or not the whale observer is a hitchhiker....

I presume you are a fellow Brit... or maybe a spaceman.

Didn't Star Trek make a film about a whale too? I am detecting a pattern here. Maybe the extraterrestrial Illuminati are whales, not lizards. The evidence is growing.
