I came across a reference this morning to that old axiom that no two snowflakes are exactly alike.
That's horsebleep.
How would anybody know that? Who has had a chance to see, catalogue, and compare every snowflake that has ever fallen on the planet Earth?
The number of snowflakes that will fall on Michigan this winter alone will be something like a gazillion to the gazillionth power, and you cannot tell me that among them there won't be at least one that is a dead ringer for some other flake that has fallen somewhere on this planet in the last, say, 10 million years.
I mean, really.
