I thought the first one was a proof that women=evil. Since "Money is the root of all evil."

I think you'd simply have to write a proof demonstrating that problems=evil. Then Problems=Women=Evil.

No you just substitute the word "Evil" for the word "Problems" in the earlier proof. I haven't heard any saying that "Money is the root of all problems." I've always heard it as the root of all evil.

Salanis,

You're being pedantic again, er, still.

What's really scary is that my boss noted today that I am less talkative and pedantic than my father and grandfather.

The limit as beer approaches infinity=sex

what is the integral of 1/cabin? Natural Log Cabin!!

If you were X^2, I would be 1/3 X^3 so I could be the area under your skirt

Yes. I am a math major. Shut up, I have a lot more where these came from.

I tried being pedantic once, but I kept getting hung up on the details.

I like the second one. Integration sometimes makes me feel like that, too.

When I was in school many of us had t-shirts that said the limit of BSEE as GPA approaches 0 is BBA.

Not quite as funny as "Don't drink and derive," but still up there.

Step 1: Let a=b. Step 2: Then a^2 = ab, Step 3: a^2 + a^2 = a^2 + ab, Step 4: 2 a^2 = a^2 + ab, Step 5: 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 + ab - 2 ab, Step 6: and 2 a^2 - 2 ab = a^2 - ab. Step 7: This can be written as 2 (a^2 - a b) = 1 (a^2 - a b), Step 8: and cancelling the (a^2 - ab) from both sides gives 1=2. Algebra has corrupted my mind.

= the natural log of the absolute value of cabin + a constant
