Suppose you have a pixilated screen, say, 10000 x 10000 and two
colors--black and white pixels only. That's 10 to the 8th pixels. 100
million.
Now imagine all the possible combination--every other pixel lit, every
third, etc.
Now realize that among all the possible combinations is all the text of
every book ever written in every language. And all the text of every book
ever written with you holding a bottle of shampoo on the page. And every
page of every book ever written with you and Jack London sitting down to a
penguin dinner with a glass of pH 4.01 standard buffer solution balance on
Jack head.
And portraits of every one your possible unconceived siblings.
And so on.
