Gabriel's Horn

Gabriel's horn is a geometric figure with an infinite surface area but a finite volume. Thus it can be filled with a finite quantity of paint, and yet that paint would not be sufficient to coat its inner surface. I learnt this today.

So, it's just a made up thing that can't exist then. Like fairies.

If you put your hand on the top of Gabriel's Horn and give it a good shake you will distribute the paint fairly evenly on all the interior surface area. This also works as a good tip using a jar (with lid not hand) for making un-lumpy gravy or Hollandaise sauce.

So you're saying that gravy has the ability to cover an infinite surface.
