There's another cool one, I don't remember what it's called, that proves 
you can chop up a filled-in circle (I.e., a 2D slice thru a ball, 
whatever you call that) and then put it back together again as a perfect 
square, with no overlaps and no gaps.

Personally, I can't imagine how that can be possible, but you can 
apparently do it with sufficiently many cuts.
