You realize, of course, that there are no uninteresting numbers, and I can prove it. Also, a horse has an infinite number of legs. I can prove that, too.

Infinity is the largest number of all. Except, of course, for infinity plus one.

Also:

x/2 = 2x,
where x = infinity

A horse has two legs in back and forelegs in front. Two plus four is six, which is odd, yet even. The only number that is both odd and even is infinity. QED...

Three is the magic number',

No, no, no.  The number of 'no's nothwithstanding,
the magic number is one.  That's how many universes
we live in and how many there are of me.  Nothing
else matters.   :)
