How many angels can stand on a pinhead?

Answer:
Oh, my. And some people think that accepting the Big Bang is over the top. The pinhead thing is of dubious origin and may have been nothing more than a hoax, or an attempt to discredit scholastic theology, particularly Duns Scotus and Thomas Aquinas. But is there an answer? I'm stuck. Sans Serif.

Angels are ethereal beings and occupy no space. Therefore, an infinite number of angels can stand, sit, or dance on the head of a pin. Scholastic Theology is vindicated.
