  From Wikipedia: A horse has an infinite number of legs

      A horse has forelegs.
      And it has two back legs.
      Four plus two is six, thus it has six legs
      Six is an odd number of legs for a horse to have
      But six is also an even number of legs.
      The only number which is both even and odd is infinity
      Therefore, a horse has an infinite number of legs
  

  Now we know that the infinite legs are infinitely long.

  (Unrelated, but along the same line of silliness from there:

      No horse has five legs.
      Any horse has four legs more than no horse does.
      Therefore, a horse has nine legs.)
