This is certainly not the only notion of Cantor's which you will find 
ridiculous after having understood its meaning.

"erhalten wir nicht bloß eine einzige unendliche ganze Zahl, sondern 
eine unendliche Folge von solchen, die voneinander wohl unterschieden 
sind und in gesetzmäßigen zahlentheoretischen Beziehungen zueinander 
sowohl wie zu den endlichen ganzen Zahlen stehen." [Cantor] Let Google 
translate it.
