Assume that the H2O molecules in the pool are "numerated" by 1, 2, 3, 
.... (i.e. that ALL H2O molecules in the pool are "numerated" by natural 
numbers).

Taking out the "infinite amount of H2O molecules" numerated by 1, 2, 3, 
.... would lead to an EMPTY pool.

On the other hand, taking out the "infinite amount of H2O molecules" 
numerated by 2, 4, 6, ... would not drain the pool. 😛 It would still be 
filled (sort of) with infinitely many H20 molecules. 😛

Be aware if the infinite, man!
