It has been around for a while, but no-one seems to have an opinion on it

    Is that the scottish spelling? Up here its Fluoro - Poll - Tetra - Chloro - Poll - Poly - Ethylene - Poll :mrgreen:

    Nemateleotris - purple fish. Bit of a dark horse T47B.

    T47B is either a spare part for a vacuum cleaner or a type of tyre lever. Of course, we could have a poll on which fits you the best.

    Nemateleotris magnifica:

    When as a very young child I was asked what was my favourite number I didn't know that generally you are supposed to have a single digit favourite number so I said the highest number I could possibly imagine in the whole universe at the time which was...

    2,147 b

    I have since shortened it to 47b as an attempt to fit in with the social norm :D

    How on earth can you have a 'biggest number', surely it is infinite ?

    If you started counting a series on numbers, 1 2 3 etc you would have a series containing an infinite number of numbers.
    If you counted a second series 2 4 6 8 etc you again would have a series with containing an infinite number of numbers.
    But surely there should be twice as many numbers in the first series compared to the second. But both series contain an infinite amount of numbers.
    Can one infinite number be twice as big as another infinite number? :?

    Why not just count to infinity and add 1 :mrgreen:

    Ok Cleat - the Infinite Motel

    a man and his son drive up to the Infinite Motel, whose motto is 'we have an infinite number of rooms'

    the man asks the hotelier 'have you any rooms free' 'No, every room has an occupier'

    son says 'no worries dad I know how to get a room here'

    how

    Every room has an occupier but that does not mean to say that every room is occupied. Two different things.
