Paulo links to a bunch of stuff of which this is by far the coolest
The guy who wrote the "Prayer of Jabez" "repents". Not of his book as such, but of his attitude towards the poor. He's now working in Africa with people with aids. Good for him.
Dive into mark has infinite craziness going on which I don't understand, but looks fun.
why Family guy might be coming back and why we should all buy Futurama dvds
Parents upset because teacher tells children santa's a fake.
Photos are done see the sidebar. Work in progess by the way, so comments are appreciated. More will follow (hopefully) once I'm settled and happy with the format.
Finally, a car crashed into the back of my house in Swansea. No one was hurt, but still. Looks impressive.

All that infinity stuff is easy peasy first year degree stuff. Once you realise that infinity is not a real number, you're fine :)
Erm, if there is infinate rooms, one hypothesis would be that the hotel can not be full
Ah, math problems are so much fun (not really). I agree though, that infinity isn't a real number, so math problems dealing with infinity as a number are dumb. Try this one though. 1/9 is .11 bar. 2/9 is .22 bar and so on. So 9/9 should be .99 bar, but that would mean that .99 bar is equal to 1 and not approximately. Go figure. (This also deals with infinity, but not as a real number)
But recurring decimals are not perfectly accurate. 0.11 recurring is not exactly 1/9.
The whole "infinite number of rooms" is a slightly bad analogy as Seb said. Can't think of a better one myself though, heh
Recurring decimals aren't perfectly accurate as they are "infinite expansions" - ie they aren't accurate in a similar way that an convergent infinite sum can't be worked out exactly by adding up all the terms.
