If that. Probably closer to 10^-100 times in the entire history of the 
universe.  If you're talking about something like all the atoms in a room 
suddenly all going left and right, leaving you in the middle suffocating.

Remember, there's some 10^22 atoms of nitrogen in each gram of atmosphere in 
your room. If each one is 25% likely to be going the right direction, what's 
the likelyhood a kilogram of them will all go the right direction?
