What is unintuitive to me is that if you draw a numberline on the wall 
and toss a dart at it (figuratively speaking), your probability of 
hitting a rational number is zero. That is, there are so many more reals 
than rationals that the chance of picking a real that's rational at 
random is literally zero. It would seem there's *some* epsilon chance, 
but apparently not. :-)
