Link for Zeke and other math nerds...
lol here's a link for ya'll. I didn't get any of the jokes, but I thought Zeke and maybe Cat would.
Enjoy! http://www.themathlab.com/geometry/funnyproofs.htm |

I got them - they're really very funny!
21: Proof by illegibility: 30: Proof by deception: "Now everyone turn their backs..." 29: Proof by hasty generalization: "Well, it works for 17, so it works for all real numbers." 26: Proof by divine word "...And the Lord said, 'Let it be true,' and it was true." 12: Proof by mumbo-jumbo:

Now, I have used 30 - 32 and 36 in the past and doubtless will do so in the future. (What do you mean, can I prove that? Of COURSE I can; you see, I...er...well, by analogy with the past, I just have a gut feeling it's going to continue into the indefinite future :P)

It is true, it's based on limits, I'll explain it sometime if you wish.

33: Proof by avoidance: Limit of proof by postponement as it approaches infinity Also, I seem to have a few serious no votes here on the explaination, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very nice to explain it anyways.... ...but then again :twisted: ...

Eh, 33 too. Sure!
I imagine it works the same as lim(n -> infinity) [1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... + 1/2^n] = 1. It just looks weirder. :P

wow I didn't realize there were so many math nerds here...Wow...my mind has turned to jello while reading the replies.
oh and Xeroc, you might want to PM that explanation for the safety of those non math nerds reading this thread. Of course this thread is for math nerds. Ok, maybe it's ok that you explain it. Maybe I'm the one that's not right. Heh. "If there's nothing wrong with me then there must be something wrong with the universe." Now that's a fun quote. |

37 Proof by lack of margin. "I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this margin is too narrow to contain."

Let me prove that I am the Master of the Universe:
If we were to let A be a number at which the proof that I will it works, That the Square on the Hypoteneuse is under the Lux-Waffler-Scribble Diagram Event Horizon Barrier, That Time=Space and that the fundament is Ingressed across the Negative axis under a CRAZ of 0.36, then we can safely assume that the Igno-Stultic Fossatic Litus is still in place, and that Planck's theorem is therefore out of scale on the halpin across which we may say that X can be less than or equal to 54 degrees and that time and space are in fact warped around me. (I'm no good at maths, but technobabbling is my forte!)
