Universe

Population: None.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

Your comment immediately brought this to mind. Sorry.

I'm assuming this is one of those 1=2, 2=3 "proofs"?
