How Can Lee's Claim Be Disproved?

[PrudensOptimus]

<br /> For Lee,<br /> \begin{equation*}<br /> \begin{split}<br /> Claim: Girls &amp;= Evil\\<br /> Girls &amp;= Money * Time\\<br /> Time &amp;= Money\\<br /> Girls &amp;= Money^2\\<br /> Money &amp;= \sqrt{Evil}\\<br /> Girls &amp;= \sqrt{Evil}^2 = Evil\\<br /> \end{split}\end{equation*}<br /> Q.E.D.<br />

I don't get it, money isn't evil, it is those who lust for it who give it the bad name.

 

[Integral]

You have surely heard the phrase "Money is the root of all evil" ie money is the root of evil. Of course it does not specify square root of evil it could be the cube root or an even higher power. So it is not exactly clear that total equality holds, but it sure is a good approximation.

 

[Jonathan]

Yes, I have heard of the phrase, I'm not stupid, I just don't see how A)this is funny or B)how money could really be the root of all evil. Now if we are religious then we'd say that Satan is the root of al evil. But if we are thinking from a purely objective and scientific veiw, people are. It has nothing to do with the objects. For example, it's like saying weapons are the source of all murders, but one doesn't convict a weapon, it is the murderers who murder people and are responsible and should be convicted.

jonathan, relax a bit, it was a joke

 

[Jonathan]

Yes, I know, I have a stick up by butt. I also don't understand the 'For Lee' and 'QED' parts. Really, the joke went over and under my head at the same time.

[adrenaline]

Over generalizations = evil.


(Girls=money*time)= social parasite with XX chromosome


Replace girls with boys you get...

(boys=money*time) = social parasite with XY chromosome

Assuming money*time is used in a negative connotative manner.


Otherwise, children=money*time which leads to children=evil. Thus, since children do not equal evil, then girls do not equal evil.

actually if children do not equal evil, then for girls not to equal evil you have to prove that children equals girls...
that's how math works...

also to be picky I can say that children = money*time*love thus children doesn't equal girls

I wouldn't go as far as saying as money is evil, as Jonathan touched upon, but I would say that money can corrupt.

 

[ken]

Well the quote " money is the root of all evil"

Is in fact a misquote of the bible.

The correct quote if memory serves is :

"The love of money is the root of all evil"

If you going to quote things you really should know the source and get it correct.

 

[Stryker]

As Guybrush Threepwood said, "relax a bit, it was a joke" If you want to nit pick this obviously funny mathmatical equation then do it elsewhere. I could dive into how 'money' is metaphorical meaning 'all worldly possesions'. Then this equation makes no sense.

I had to read it three times before I got the punch line at the end.

Very good PrudensOptimus.

 

[ken]

Hi

This is a 2nd attempt to reply, Don't know what happened before.

"Money is the root of all evil" is a misquote of 1 Timothy chapter 6 verse 10.

This is rendered differently in different English translations but I think a good sense of it would be:

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"

You really should try to get quotes correct you know otherwise you
end up with erronious assertions like the one you posted.
It should have been obvious from the start that girls are of far greater value than the square root of anything.

 

[ken]

Oh that's really Odd after posting a 2nd time I can see my 1st post, the original and subsequent ones but nothing in between.

Ps.

I'm relaxed, of course it's a joke so was my reply in a way.

 

[Tsu]

I like this thread. This is nice.

IMO, two of life's 'truths' have been posted here.

1. Math is evil
2. Girls are of far greater value than the square root of anything.

Lee is a former classmate of mine, but I nolonger keep in touch with her as often as usual because we nolonger have a class together.

 

[Stryker]

I believe that handling, treating, whatever a girl 'properly' is 80% improve or intuition, and 20% experience or brains.

First you need to know what you want out of the relationship. Then from there 'scope' and find the girl that will fill this role. So many men want a woman but they have no expectations of what she should be. Then when there with her they relize that she's not what they wanted.

There's no right or wrong way to approch a girl, just the right and wrong girls to approch.

Alright alright...this thread is begging to be pooped on.
I mean come on! The Star Trek convention must have let out early, yes? And your equation, Girls = Evil...come on! This comes from a group of men who have probably never even talked to a woman without having to give a credit card number! You seem like the kinds of guys who beg for sex...I should know, we can smell our own. I keeeed I keeeeeeed...

You've been a terrific audience...for me to poop on!

okay... Physicists are the root of all anal retention.

It was a joke, and jokes are meant to be FUNNY, picking things apart is never ever funny. not even if it is a scab.
and when there is a person's name with the word 'for' in front of it. that generally means that that person is the intended recipient of said object.

and yeah good joke by the way... i liked it.

Oh oh... Zooby. It's quite possible that that IS the real Triumph and WE HAVE JUST BEEN POOPED ON BY ONE OF OUR MEMBERS! According to his website, he will visit and poop on any other site with a simple 'request to poop' click. Isn't there enough 'pooping on your neighbor' in the real world without being cyber-pooped on?

 

[Tsu]

And, just for the record, it wasn't ME who requested the poop job! I just now learned about Triumph when I googled him after Zooby's post. Besides. I'm house broken. AND! If I wanted a poop job delivered, I'd do it myself!

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions with those stubby little polyester stuffed legs of yours, because you will just fall flat on your face.

I did not invoke Triumph. Triumph is a frequent guest on the Conan O'Brien late night T.V. show. Millions know of him. It could have been anyone.

Well, Zoob. Unlike your wet-with-drool, smelly, hairy pants, my legs are not made of polyester. And they were able to get me over to your pant leg to destroy it! (Man, I can't get that nasty smell out of my face!)

But, OK. You didn't invoke Triumph. I'll accept that. (Haven't watched much, if any, Conan.) Got any guesses of your own as to whodunnit?

My maths teacher always used to put QED at the end of really really long maths problems.
He always used to say his own meaning for it was "quite easily done" and if we wrote it on our exam papers, he would take marks off. We all learned to write "as required" instead of "QED"

Zoobies don't wear pants, you polyester pooch, and it will take years for that smell to wear off. Serves you right. Haven't you ever heard the term "Skunk Ape"? Course I know how you could get rid of it in a jiffy, but for some reason I'm not in the mood to share.

Aw, yer just ticked off because I wrecked the pants of one of your favorite polyester Leisure Suits.
Ah, yes. "Skunk Ape". It's been a while. I KNOW that remedy. Thanks for the tip.

well i would have thought it amusing but i have seen it a few times, and have never had the urge to dissect the equation. OR in fact, any joke. Jeez lighten up guys, you only have to be part-time physicists. And anyway, why does physicist have to mean "no sense of humour"?

Now that u mention it Zoob, she does have polyester-esque legs. Why are Zoobs legs wet with drool...actually i dare not ask!

What's a Skunk Ape?

Nope. No clothes at all, I'm afraid. There are no closets in a zooby brush shelter.

"Skunk ape" is just a name to describe the intensity of the smell. It is not related to skunk chemistry. So, if you have tried the tomato juice bath, now is as good a time as any to tell you this just sets the smell permantly with no hope of relief.
You should have sucked up to me for the real remedy. Now it's too late.

Actually, no.

You have probably heard of the bigfoot; a creature not unlike the himalayan yeti that is rumored to inhabit the woods and swamps of North America.

Sightings of the bigfoot often include the information that a rank and rancid smell was perceived to be in the air in connection with its appearance, freuently described to be like "rotting garbage". In Florida and that part of the US, this has earned the local bigfoot the nickname of "skunk ape", not because it smells like a skunk, but because it smells just as strong. (Do you have skunks in the UK?)

"Zoobie" is a kind of nickname for the local (San Diego County) bigfoot. Therefore, in attacking my leg visciously in the other thread, Tsunami the stuffed dog, merely got her face covered with the aroma emanating from the thick hair of my legs (which she somehoe mistook for pants. Go figure) and is now unable to get rid of the smell.

Those would have to be some SERIOUSLY unfashionable pants. Or maybe they were made in Greece!

Yes, in my opinion, Leisure Suits were 'SERIOUSLY unfashionable' even when they were 'in style'. Zooby is just embarrassed to admit that he still wears them. I have evidence of this now that I ripped a chunk off (I keep them in 4 3ml plastic bags inside of a HazMat bag ). And don't worry about the smell. As I said before - it's been taken care of. Zooby isn't the first zoobie I've had to 'discipline'.

But, seriously Zoob... take a bath. You're pretty RIPE - even for a zoobie!

(have you noticed? zooby seems to have a problem with REALITY!... can't tell a real dog from a stuffed one fer cryin' out loud... )

Hoax. Not even a clever one. Probably something you picked up at a thrift store.

That's what Ivan may be telling you to your face, but why does he keep furiously P.M.ing me for the real removal formula? (He will deny this, of course.)

Zooby isn't the first zoobie I've had to 'discipline'.

I'll be alerting the SPCA. Little zoobie must be protected.

But, seriously Zoob... take a bath. You're pretty RIPE - even for a zoobie!

If you can't stand the smell, don't chew the leg.

(have you noticed? zooby seems to have a problem with REALITY!... can't tell a real dog from a stuffed one fer cryin' out loud... )

If that is a real dog, it's just more for me to tell the SPCA. It is illegal to selectively breed deformed house pets.
