God did it! Statistical miracle! 6 double-yolk eggs in a row. (not a miracle, BBC)

God did it! Statistical miracle! 6 double-yolk eggs in a row. (not a miracle, BBC)

A miracle! Documented! A man in West London, England, had a six-pack of eggs, which he was making into an omlette. Each one was a double yolk egg. According to the British Egg Information Service, the "odds" of any one egg being a double yolker is about one in one thousand (they do eggs, so we'll give them the benefit of the doubt).

Do the math, that comes out to a statistical probability of one trillion (that's a US-style trillion, with twelve zeros, not a British-style trillion with a lot more).

The BBC explains why this is -not- proof of a miracle, however. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16118149

(edit to correct city in England where the alleged miracle took place)
