Hi All

Any Transfinite number divided by any finite number gives itself. Still an infinite number of inhabited worlds... just further apart.

BTW Anyone see the movie version of "Hitchhiker's"? Was rather funny in subtle and not so subtle ways, especially when the infinite improbability drive caused them all to turn into woven woollen dolls and Arthur spewed up multi-coloured woollen threads. The Vogon bureaucracy reminds me of NASA and all the paperwork needed.
