Speaking of confusing people, I think this might be a good time to introduce 
a little theorem a friend of mine came up with.  Disclaimer: It's not mine, 
don't blame me for it!  It's called the Collins Theorem (duh), and it goes 
like this:  Since 1 (or any other non-infinite real number) over infinity is 
equal to zero, the universe doesn't exist.  His logic goes thus: since the 
universe (by most accounts) is infinite, and empty space exists in the 
universe (thus the 1 over infinity), the volume of the universe (or the 
density, or whatever) equals zero.  Fun, huh?
