Zero Volume, Infinite Disappointment
The ultimate mathematical prank! The Menger Sponge is that bizarre fractal structure mathematicians created to mess with our brains. On the left, we see the complex 3D cube with holes within holes within holes. On the right? Absolutely nothing—because a perfect Menger Sponge technically has zero volume despite taking up space! It's like paying for a full sandwich and getting just the holes. Mathematicians really said "let's create an object with infinite surface area but no actual substance" and then had the audacity to call it a sponge. Can't even use it to clean up the tears of confused calculus students.
