Shit.... Humm.... For fun, what about an infinite waterfall dumping into 
an already infinite pool, two separate objects. The pool will always 
accepts more water since it is infinite. Now, taking an infinite number 
of gallons of water out of the pool is interesting because of the 
infinite waterfall?
Damn infinity! beware? ;^)
