Okay, when a website's title is "Humor in der Mathematik," you can be pretty sure it's not real. Both links you provided are jokes.

Does anybody ever keep up with pop culture??????????

You probably saw the

2 + 2 = 5

equation on the back of the new Radiohead album called "Hail To The Thief."

I think they relesed the single in the UK last week so you can go buy it if you want!! [:D] [:D]
