Aw, shucks. Throw out the merest scintilla of hope and somebody dashes it to the ground, shattering it into a million bits. It's said that Julian Huxley, of the famed Huxley family of scientists and writers, once wrote that 'the odds of the evolution of the horse were 1 / 1000 to the power of 1,000,000 -- yet it happened!' See, anything is possible given a few billion years and some primordial mud, even SKTO and AEGY stepping out of the Grey Market ooze. What are you doing for the next billion years? I wonder what the dollar will be worth then.
