Common Improbable Events

Ever witness an improbable event ? You think how lucky you are. Then you think how many improbable events are there out there waiting to happen. Surely there are allot more possible improbable events than there are possible common events. Clowns throwing boomerangs in the middle of a herd of cows is one improbable event. But change it a little and you have another one. So the chances of coming across at least a few improbable events is quite high.
