Nick Douglas discussing "Infinity"
with Mark Bloss...
 ND>> I raise you to infinity. Trump card, I win.
 MB>>  Ha!  I raise you to infinity * 100^10.  ;)
 MB>> ... Brace your self, worse attacks on your reason are coming along.
 ND> That's right. Hmm. Your number is still infinity, is it not?
Yes, but it is a bigger one than you stated. Here is a bigger one than 
Mark's: infinity^infinity
 ND> And if
 ND> even numbers, every one of them, added up are infinite, and so are all
 ND> integers, there are the same amount of each, right?
Wrong. There are half as many even numbers as there are integers.
 ND> But there are two
 ND> integers for every even number!
Indeed. Which makes your above claim, that the set of all even numbers is the 
same size as the set of all integers, a total nonsense.
