The most incredible thing in this article is the assertion that there exists at least one math professor that is unaware of this theorem - I was taught all of this in the first algebra course at university...


Yeah... I mean, am I the only one that thinks this article is kind of trite? Uncountability isn't a completely mind blowing concept to me.
