56: More Sheep than You Can Count (Transfinite Cardinal Numbers)
Look at all you phonies out there.
You poseurs.
All of you sheep. Counting 'til infinity. Counting sheep.
*pff*
What if I told you there were more there? Like, ... more than you can count?
But what would a sheeple like you know about more than infinity that you can count?
heh. *pff*
So, like, what does it mean to count til infinity? What does it mean to count more? And, like, where do dimensions fall in all of this?
