... certainly each of the "usual suspects" has a discrete specification, but I've always been a bit suspicious of the hardcore constructionist approach to irrational numbers (while at the same time finding it extremely attractive to my engineering/hacker instincts). ok, so these are probably not "measurable" in the sense you mean either, but they are *thinkable*, and that (I think) is the whole point (or as it were, the whole hypotenuse, curve, circle, etc) ;-)
