Interesting indeed

I was reading 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (great book, READ IT) when I came across something that actually made me stop and think. Here's what it said:

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in theUniverse can be said to be Zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

Now, obviously the last part is just humor, but if you pay attention to the bolded bit and think for a minute...kind of wierd, don't you think?
