no, you are the asserter, you have to prove your assertion that there is no
such thing as an infinite loop, that the loop will eventually end.  In
affect, that in the next 10**999999 rolls of the dice, that something other
than a 2 will result.

By what date and time will the infinite loop end? < smug smilely >
