There is another alternative universe out there in which everything happened exactly the same since the beginning of time except that I did not respond to this post.
I used to think there were an infinite number of alternative universes. Thus everything that can happen does happen and, furthermore, happens an infinite number of times. However, with this rather small limit of 10^10^16, not everything can happen and certainly not an infinite number of times. So I might not be in clover anywhere. This may be as good as it gets. :-(
