To be fair it was from a book inside a book, and said inner book is... well something you shouldn't trust too much, especially if the only way it can explain how to survive a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal is in a slightly less pleasant way than implying that you should become its meal.

Which book was that? Was it one of the Hitchhiker's Guide volumes?

    You are correct. Dougie Adams was just trying to be cute.

    90% of infinity is not a finite number.

    Any % of an infinite number is not a finite number (I'm sure you already knew this).

    Having said that, some infinitiys are larger than others, which is interesting.

    There are more decimal numbers between 0 and 1, than integers (1, 2, 3...).

    A person can begin to count integers to infinity.

    0, 1, 2, 3...

    It's impossible to start with the next smallest number after 0.

    For example:

    0, 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000... ..00000?

    I wouldn't say 'larger' but rather more dense? You encounter things more often. Same with the populated words - their number might as well be infinite as well, but they are so spread out you'd be hard pressed to travel between them.

    Do you guys even know the divisions of unity?

    You have to respect him. You also have to lock him in a room to get him to write it in the first place.

    Some love, some tough love.

    "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." A guy wrote the quote out in calligraphy for me and it hangs framed on my wall.

      If you're interested I can go find the image for ya, the guy is cool with people using it. I took advantage of Walgreens frequent free 8x10 photo deals to have them print it out for me for free.
