Assume that the H20 molecules in the pool are "numerated" by 1, 2, 3, 
.... (i.e. that ALL H20 molecules in the pool are "numerated" by natural 
numbers).

Taking out the "infinite amount of H20 molecules" numerated by 1, 2, 3, 
.... would lead to an EMPTY pool.

On the other hand, taking out the "infinite amount of H20 molecules" 
numerated by 2, 4, 6, ... would not drain the pool. :-P It would still 
be filled (sort of) with infinitely many H20 molecules. :-P

Be aware if the infinite, man!
