Ooooooops!  Sorrrrry!  No plaguerism intended.  Yes, I did see that stuff in
BYTE, but I also learned it in calculus class before I read it in BYTE.  The
idea of that funnel having infinite surface area and finite volume is not
new.  I posted it on the net for the benefit of those people who do not 
subscribe to BYTE.  I was not aware that posting such well known facts
(well known in the area of mathematics, anyway) constituted plaguerism.
PLEASE, no flames to my mailbox.  I apologize if I have insulted or injured
anyone.
