Its been awhile since I last posted any of my not-so-weekly riddles.  I really miss sharing them with you.  So here is some food for thought.

Are there different sizes for infinity?

When this question was first posed to me, I almost immediately said no.  How can one put a limit on a limitless concept?  Or put another way, how can one comparatively assess the sizes of infinite things?
