Post your favorite theorem and discuss it a little.
I don't have a favorite theorem necessarily, but here's one of my favorites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Tarski_paradox
This is a completely counterintuitive notion of which I have virtually no understanding, but it has that wonderful mysterious and paradoxical quality that can only be achieved by mathematics. Uli, why don't you list one of your favorites?
