Here is a question which some of you have probably heard before.
What 3-dimensional shape has a finite volume, but an infinite 
surface area?
You can fill it up with paint, but you can't paint it.
I will give the answer in a week if it has not been spoiled.
The second part is harder.
Prove that no shape has a finite surface area 
and an infinite volume.
I might give the answer to this part too,
if I get the chance to think about it during turkey (chomp chomp).
Enjoy continuously!
