Wow, why are we wasting our time with rational astronomy when we can make real money by predicting the end of the world? Sign up now, folks, and we'll predict the end of the world for next month, which inexplicably ends after only 29 days. And if it doesn't happen, then we'll predict it for March, which inexplicably has two more days than the previous month. And if it doesn't happen then, we'll predict the following month, and so forth ad infinitum . . .
Thus we will introduce the idea of infinite series to the unsophisticated.
Speaking of series, seriously, welome, this forum features some of the best rationalists around. If you enjoy seeing purveyors of nonsense reduced to frustrated sputtering, this is the place. Have fun.
