Somewhat silly question, but is it possible to run out of OID's?

Since we upgraded to 8.1.3, I noticed that I can create tables without an
oid column. I am wondering if I should consider trying to rebuild the
existing tables to be built without OID.

If it is possible to run out of OID's, how can you tell how close you are to
the edge.

Thanks,

Chris
