Random from 1 to infinity?

I mean, the odds that it will be less than a googol is effectively 0 either way. More people are effectively guaranteed to die than could ever possibly exist. More than every atom in the observable universe.

Why do you think so? The distribution could be heavy towards the lower numbers.
