Ah, I see now. Done.

Lemma: All horses are the same color. Proof (by induction): Case n =
1: In a set with only one horse, it is obvious that all horses in
that set are the same color. Case n = k: Suppose you have a set of
k+1 horses. Pull one of these horses out of the set, so that you
have k horses. Suppose that all of these horses are the same color.
Now put back the horse that you took out, and pull out a different
one. Suppose that all of the k horses now in the set are the same
color. Then the set of k+1 horses are all the same color. We have k
true => k+1 true; therefore all horses are the same color. Theorem:
All horses have an infinite number of legs. Proof (by intimidation):
Everyone would agree that all horses have an even number of legs. It
is also well-known that horses have forelegs in front and two legs in
back. 4 + 2 = 6 legs, which is certainly an odd number of legs for a
horse to have! Now the only number that is both even and odd is
infinity; therefore all horses have an infinite number of
legs. However, suppose that there is a horse somewhere that does not
have an infinite number of legs. Well, that would be a horse of a
different color; and by the Lemma, it doesn't exist.
