What is especially interesting to me is that anyone who has fired a shotgun truly understands the term &#8220;recoil&#8221;.  Its amazing how they have minimized the recoil effect providing a very stable weapon with sustained rate of fire.  Now if only they could have a magazine fed via a ammo box in a backpack.  Kinda like Tex&#8217;s weapon from Predator.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>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.</p>
<p><b>Are there different sizes for infinity?</b></p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Check out Georg Cantor&#8217;s explanation &#8211; <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=strange-but-true-infinity-comes-in-different-sizes"><u>link</u></a></p>
