I failed when I got bored and copied the text, but I'm slightly proud of my random thoughts.

On one summer night, I was staring at the sky pondering the mystery of the universe. Why are we here? What are we? What is consciousness? Does consciousness exist outside of the body?
Where do we go when we die? How did the universe come to be? Is God the answer? Why are the laws of the universe set precisely the way they are? The answer can't be the multi-verse, because in that situation there are an infinite number of universes.
In an infinite number of universes, an infinite amount of possibilities exist. That means, in any given unverse, ANYTHING can and will happen.
That means, in one of them, as I'm typing this silly nonsense, a naked clown will kick in my door, but he will be killed before he attempts to strangle me by a piece of debris that crashes through the roof, which let loose from an airliner flying overhead.
If that's not weird enough, in one of those other infinite universes, he won't be attempting to strangle me, he will have a butcher knife. In another one, he will have a shotgun.
In another universe, he won't kick in the door, but will blow it up with grenades. And in one, he won't be naked, but dressed in a tuxedo. In one universe, the plane would drop an engine on him. Or me. Or it won't be an engine, it will be a large piece of frozen lavatory ice.
This doesn't seem logical, although Donald Trump did just attempt to purchase Greenland, which does seem very odd and very random.

An infinite set can still have bounded properties, and probability doesn't work that way. For instance, the set of even natural numbers is infinite, yet they still never contain an odd number. So it's entirely possible, even within an infinite set of infinite universes, for some events to never occur.
