Walter said, "The universe has maybe a hundred billion galaxies in it. And each of those galaxies has somewhere between a billion and a trillion stars."
"Yeah?" I said.
Walter said, "And orbiting around just one of those trillions and trillions of stars is our planet, which has six billion people on it. We're like dust spots on a dust spot in the middle of a dust spot. Mathematically speaking, we average out to absolutely nothing."
... I knew there was a good reason I hated math.
