The discussion on logic reminded me of a passage from the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It was explaing how the population of the universe was zero. It went as follows: There are a finite number of planets that are habitable in the universe while there are an infinite number of planets. As everyone knows any finite number divided by infinitiy is pretty much zero, therefore the population of the universe must be zero.

It is unfortunate, but I see people making conclusions just as valid every day in the newspaper.
