I can tell you the exact probability of what could come up in five rolls, you can't tell me the exact probability of what the weather will be in 5 days.

Sure you can. 50% chance of sunny. I should start my own religion based on this!

I thought you already had your hands in the cookie jar.
And, something cute I came across:
ecosexual n. A single, environmentally conscious person with a strong aesthetic sense. Also: eco-sexual.
—ecosexuality n.
Example Citations:
I'm not sure whether to blame it on the Stern report on climate change or Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, but being green has never been more fashionable nor annoying.
The competitiveness by some to be an eco-warrior is so out of control that it now extends to the world of dating and the birth of the ''ecosexual''.
Good looks, a sense of humour, education and high income count for zilch these days if you don't eat organic, wear organic and recycle.
To get lucky, you have to think globally and act locally in your day-to-day living.
—Anita Quigley, "Beware the tree-loving ecosexual," The Daily Telegraph, December 20, 2006

Prove it. Don't forget to explain how rolling, reflection, cross-sectional drag and rotational momentum work since you have stated you can give me an exact probability. ;D

And don't forget the influence that my need for money has on the dice either. Whether or not I can easily afford to loose the money I have on the pass line usually has a distinct effect on the outcome, if I shouldn't have bet in the first place I'm sure to loose.

Sure, theres a 1 in 36 probability that any particular combination will hit. Since the throw will always give a completely random variable to the equation which will effect all the other variables you mentioned, it becomes equally likely that any sides of the dice will come up.
