As I understand it, the trinity is like water. God can be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost just as water can be a gas, a solid, and a liquid.
God can be all three at the same time just like water can be all three at the same time at what's called the "triple point." So what is God's triple point?
What pressure and temperature does it need to be for God to be the Father, Son and Holy Ghost at the same time?

Funny, I've always thought of the Trinity like the Three Stooges....it's just as ridiculous in a way :)

This is a question that even the Pope himself would say he could not answer. The concept of th Trinity is one of the great mysteries of the Church. A mystery of the Church is defined as something which the Church accepts as true even though it is beyond human understanding. The reason we believe this rather bizarre concept is because this is what Christ taught us. It cannot be reduced to human understanding like "three parts of the whole" or "three functions", or "like 3 in 1 oil", or anything like that. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Spirit is God. And yet they are all ONE. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God." John 1: 1

That is actually a heretical understanding of the trinity known as modalism:

God is always the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit at the same time. They are three disinct, co-existant, persons who together are God.

Your top contributorship here is not worth a plugged nickel if this question is indicative of ones in the past. Most likely you consider participation in discussion a game where points are earned for bragging rights rather than as an opportunity to share and learn in open conversation. Well, the bragging rights only matter to those engaged in the same game under the same rules and with the same goal in mind.
How about reeling it in and starting to really contribute something worthwhile? Hey....who's kid is this, anyway?

This question is impossible to answer because it deals with the transitory, physical - material. God is "spirit" in composition; therefore, to apply a "measure" of a state of being [matter], is limiting Him [God].

Absolute Zero... coincidentally, the same as the probability of this particular deity being real.
