How many blades of grass can there be?

If you could count all the blades of grass in the world, how many do you think there would be? There would be a lot–so much that you would be better off at estimating the number to be infinite. Infinity is a funny number. You can cut it in half and it will still be infinity. You can multiply it by two or three or any number you wish and it will still be infinity. If you add one to infinity, it is still infinity. I guess it has to do with limits and comparisons of numbers. You see, compared to infinity, any other number is really small and insignificant that it gets swallowed up in the largeness of infinity. There's no way to win.
