This is getting incredibly silly.  There is nothing in science or  
physics that will allow one macro object to spontaneously turn into a  
totally different macro object.   And what is the value of these  
rarefied discussions of the oh so modern version of how many angels  
can dance on the head of a pin anyway?

BTW, the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin is the  
number of such beings as actually exist with the desire to do so.  :-)
