Ridiculous Combos

Does anyone know any ridiculous nearly impossible combos to pull off? I'm talking about the ones that have many pieces and almost never come together. Here is one:
Turn 1: Mountain , Goblin Arsonist
Turn 2: Mountain , Infernal Plunge sacking Arsonist, deal 1 damage to opponent, tap second mountain to create 4th red mana, cast Geosurge , then Furyborn Hellkite with the bloodthirst.
Conspiracy naming Saproling
Restoration Angel targets itself infinitely, infinite land drops, infinite Landfall triggers from Ob Nixilis.

Well, there's the good old:
Turn one: Mountain
Turn two: Mountain , Pyromancer's Ascension
Turn three: Pyretic Ritual , Pyretic Ritual , Manamorphose , Manamorphose , Gitaxian Probe , Desperate Ritual (spliced), Desperate Ritual , Manamorphose , Wild Guess , Wild Guess , Pyretic Ritual , Past in Flames , (see above), Grapeshot .
That one's one of my favorites. Grapeshot can also be replaced with Empty the Warrens and / or Deathforge Shaman .

Probably the most insane combo I've ever heard of comes from here:
http://www.mtgvault.com/dragonfire/decks/6-million-digits-of-damage/
And I quote: "First, cast Angel's Grace and Ad Nauseam to draw your whole deck. Then play a Gustha's Scepter and activate its first ability and put Lotus Bloom under it. Then, Reshape the Scepter and after it and the Lotus are put into the graveyard, respond to the second effect of reshape by casting (NOT PAYING LIFE) a Noxious Revival , to put the Lotus on top of your now nonexistent deck. Get the Lotus in play from Reshape , and play a Lotus Petal . Sac the Petal for 1 white and cast a Children of Korlis , to go back to 20 life, then sac the Bloom for 3 green and play Channel , and get 19 colorless mana (no, you can't pay life below 0 and stay alive with Angel's Grace ). Use 4 of it and cast Gemstone Array . Activate the Array for 2 colorless, and get 1 white to play another Children of Korlis , gaining 38 life, and adding another 37 colorless mana to your mana pool. Use 4 colorless mana and the Array, cast Recurring Nightmare , and with the other 37 mana and yet another activation of the Array, cast a Tempt with Vengeance . From there you get a loop: Sac a token, bounce your Nightmare, reanimate Children, make a bunch of mana, sac Children, play Nightmare, repeat. Because the Children's effect is cumulative, numbers get real big, real fast. Once you run out of tokens, cast Mystic Retrieval , and play Tempt with Vengeance again. Once you run out of tokens for that, flashback the Retrieval and play Tempt a third time. Keep making mana until you run out of tokens, and use Array and the insane amount of colorless mana, cast a Banefire directly at your opponents face. The number is too long to even write out, but it has 6 million digits, or somewhere close to that."

@slovakattack: I hope someone actually manages to get that combo off on me. And I hope to God I have a Counterflux .

@Fulcrum: I'm pretty sure if that happened, both parties would agree that it would be the best game ever :P

I'm pretty sure you mean Mindbreak Trap , because Banefire can't be countered above 5.
Post Script: yes you could break every other part of the combo with Counterflux I know, but Mindbreak Trap is just more satisfying.

Anywho, to contribute.
Playing GRU EDH and have Simic Growth Chamber in play, as well as at least four other lands, Soul of the Harvest , and Deadeye Navigator (unbonded). I draw Deceiver Exarch , look at the board and laugh. Why? Because I have Splinter Twin in this deck . . . somewhere.
I wait until end of turn before mine, flash in the Exarch, untap the growth chamber and soulbond exarch to navigator, drawing a card from soul. 50 cards later I find Splinter Twin and win on my turn.

Spawnsire of Ulamog and Battle of Wits is probably my favorite combo, if your group allows you to magically come up with that many Eldrazi titans. As far as I know, it works.

t1: Mountain , Black Lotus , (green) tap and sac the Black Lotus , Channel (pay 19 life and tap your Mountain , Fireball your opponent for 19. play Mox Opal (or any other mox thing). then use the extra green mana from Black Lotus and the mox thing to play Hurricane for one. tie game. woot.

Umbral Mantle + Training Grounds + mana dork for beats
Or
Umbral Mantle + Training Grounds + Joraga Treespeaker + Helix Pinnacle
I actually had a deck with some success with the combo and Stoneforge Mystic and Idyllic Tutor in extended long ago. The banning made the combo clunky and near impossible to pull off.

@ThatBlueMage It's actually possible to go off on turn 2 in a Modern storm deck. Here's how.
Turn 1: Land
Turn 2: Land, Pyretic Ritual , Desperate Ritual , Pyromancer Ascension , Pyretic Ritual , Desperate Ritual (turning on Pyromancer Ascension , 4 red mana)
Manamorphose drawing two cards and giving you 6 total mana hopefully nets you a Past in Flames , from which you can continue to go off and blow your opponent's minds. I once had this done to me. I was impressed.

Some stupid from my EDH-deck:
Deadeye Navigator
soulbond with Sunblast Angel
+ Bident of Thassa
= Target opponent sweeper.
Deadeye Navigator
+ Cloud of Faeries
+ Untap Selesnya Sanctuary
/ Temple of the False God
= Infinite mana.
I'm not playing any tutors, so the chance of these happening are quite small. I'm considering including Squirrel Nest
in the second combo just for infinite squirrels.

One of the lands needs to be blue for the Navicloud combo to work.

One combo I actually pulled off:
2 Champion of Lambholt in play.
Phyrexian Metamorph and Leonin Relic-Warder for 10 billion.
Attack with two 10,000,000,000/10,000,000,000+ Champions.
He had 2 Doom Blade s
Damn.

How about this one:
Infinite Reflection on Volatile Rig with about 10 other creatures on board.
Pop goes the weasel. Nobody wins.

I've always wanted to try to get Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 's ultimate with Omniscience out and then play Slaughter Games trying to name every card. I never even came close in my Grixis EDH deck.

I mean, there's one that's pretty funny and hard to pull off, but only because Tinker is restricted as hell.
T1: Seat of the Synod , Mox Opal , tap Seat of the Synod for Sol Ring , tap Sol Ring and Mox Opal for Tinker , Bam, Blightsteel Colossus on turn 1.
