You can use math to prove just about any argument. And disprove any argument as well.
I saw this in a demonstration on symbolic logic when I was in college...and I thought I would share it with you as it has stuck in my head all these many years...
MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT GIRLS ARE EVIL!!
We all know that given enough time and enough money, any man can get a woman. So, having said that...it can be said that girls are the product of time and money. In other words:
Girls = Time X Money
And we all know that "time is money" right? So, it can also be said that:
Time = Money
Now, if we substitute money for time, we can say that:
Girls = Money X Money
Or.......
Girls = (Money) to the 2nd power
We also know that "money is the root of all evil". So, knowing that, it can be said that money is the square root of evil. So, we get:
Money = square root (Evil)
If we substitute that new meaning in for money, it can be said:
Girls = (square root (Evil)) to the 2nd power
As we all know, any time you square something that has a square root, those two properties cancel each other out. So, applying that cancellation, you end up like this:
Girls = Evil
Therefore, it must be accepted that all girls are evil!
Wow - you must be feeling dangerously adventurous today! Don't you want to add some kind of disclaimer that this is not YOUR opinion of girls?
And kids today say they can't use math in real life. ha! A well-thought out equation (although I'll NEVER tell my wife your conclusion!).
Emcee
Clint, extending your thought, but you can make statistics prove almost any point... the art of the science is to know how to use them wisely...
Lynn -- LOL!! I love my wife more than anything. :-)
Emcee -- Smart man. ;-)
Chris -- Agreed...You can. Science is fun!
Clint - I had a Calculus professor in college who used that as his introduction the first day of class. He said we were going to do some equations, everyone groaned, and then smiled and laughed once they got what he was doing. I remember he smelled though - really bad (just a random thought - nothing to do with your post).
Matt -- Awesome! Well, the example...not the smell. Thats just wrong.
Clint ---- I agree with Lynn on this one -- notice that most of your comments are from men.
Clint, I was a math major in college and love that there is a tangible answer to math problems. This helps a lot in real estate dealings for analysis. I do know some men that cost more than women!!!!! (Or spend more, anyways) All the best, Michelle
Someone's sleeping on the couch tonite!
Liz -- Saying that most comments are from men seems a bit early to call considering that there are only 5 of them...not including mine. 3-2 is a pretty even split at that number.
Michelle -- Oh, I totally agree with you on the men costing more...I spend WAY more money than my wife does....she hates me for it, too! :-) Thanks for enjoying the fun! :-)
Jason -- LOL! Yeah, my wife reads my blog...Im certain I will catch hell for this one. :-)
Clint - There were rumors that he had an incontinence problem. I never confirmed them and was happy to not know the source.
Matt -- Ok...I could have gone all day without hearing that. #justsayin. ;-)
Hahahahahaaaaaa!!!!! Too funny! ;-)
Featured @ Club Chaos
Carolyn -- Awwww, Thanks! :-)
Clint - I have never been good at math, so I was unable to follow your calculation here!!! lol
Very Cute, I'll send it to my hubby...he'll appreciate it.:-)
Amy -- LOL! Im glad you appreciated the humor in it.
Some girls are evil because they want to get spanked. Just sayin. That's what I heard anyway. ;-)
Susie -- I have heard that before also. :-)
I learned a long time ago, when present CMA's that you could prove anything with math....or statistics. It's called skewing the data.
Doug -- Exactly. You can get numbers to say anything. :-)
Clint,
That is so funny and that's a girls vote!
I need to try and find the opposite to that equation.........Boys = ?????? I'm sure there's one out there somewhere, too funny.
Jody
Jody -- LOL! Thank you for seeing the humor in the post. :-) I have looked for a boys one...never found one.
Maybe that's it....Girls=Evil and Boys=a series of questions marks.....Boy I could a lot of fun filling in what those questons could be LOL
Jody -- You may be on to something with that. ;-)
That is awesome, I never knew math was so versatile!
Jason -- Powerful stuff. :-)
Im assuming you are single or will be soon with that kind of math.
LOL - well since you can manipulate the data... dare to post that boys= ... :) ~Rita
Terry -- Unsafe assumption. Happily married.
Rita -- I looked everywhere for one of these for boys. I cant find one!
Well Clint, I can see were Math can prove anything. so I guess we all have to be careful not to be declared EVIL as I'm sure the ladies could turn this formula around on us ;)
Bill
Clint, I've seen this one on a car forum (minus the graphic!) and find it quite hilarious...but if I may, I think this was probably written by a man who couldn't get a girl...and this is his consolation theory! ;)
Leilani
Bill -- :-)
Leilani -- You have a good point ;-)
