Since it is hard to keep bugs out of cereal factories, the FDA allows a certain amount of bugs, roaches, and rat pellets in every box of cereal. Just some food for thought!

Also, when you're feeling hungry, most of the time you're probably thirsty. Humans have a hard time being able to tell if they're thirsty or hungry (because our senses are all screwed up) and usually go for food instead. So, if you're trying to lose weight and you feel hungry, grab a glass of water and you'll feel better! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

money is the root of all evil
money = sqrt(evil)
girls = (sqrt(evil))^2 = evil
thus girls = evil

LOL! Someone in my department sent that out at work. I think it's terribly clever and impressive. Now if I could only disprove the theorem....

Holy $hit Cory, LOL.

I'm soooo bad at theorems that I won't even try to disprove that one!!!!

OK, well . . . Math's sorta my thing, and the 'dis-proof' would be this (assuming we require one):

first line - girls require time and money becomes girls = time x money.

This is akin to saying "twenty requires five and four", which actually would imply something else - more likely, it would become either twenty requires two and zero, or twenty requires 10 and 10 (etc).

let's assume this to be correct, as stated in the second way.

So the new proof:

Girls require time and money.
Girls = time + money.
time is money
girls = money + money = 2money
money is the root of all evil
girls =2(sqrt(evil))

so this way, girls are merely fractional evil . . . which i actually like more - think about it: Girls are soft, smell good . . . you know where I'm going here . . . but they're so damn evil too. I'm sticking by my 'fractional evil' theory . . .

*note - i'm just f-ing around, no comments necessary thanks*

That's awesome, Rob! How long did it take (or little) to disprove Cory's theorem? Actually, yeah, if I had to choose between those two theorems...I like your's better, too http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Can anyone try to disprove it so that girls do NOT equal evil?? Though it might be impossible if you use the money factor.

*Vancouver is home to the first and largest clothing optional beach in Canada (Wreck Beach also happens to be part of the UBC campus)
*Vancouver throws the second largest Canada Day celebration (I'm assuming Ottawa is 1st)
*Vancouver has the largest number of swimming pools per captia in Canada
*Vancouver has the largest number of millionaires per square kilometre in North America
*Vancouver has the largest number of HIV victims per square kilometre in North America

(the last 2 facts I heard a few years back so I don't know how accurate they are now).

most of that is just stuff I've learned in classes from teachers
like 'by-the-ways' they'd throw out during a lecture

the thing about clinton a friend of mine told me, i'm not sure if he'd figured it out or not on his own

Cigarette smoke contains arsenic, formaldehyde, lead, cyanide, and benzene. ALL of these are known carcinogens and/or poisons.

(this is why I subscribe to the theory that "lips are for kissing, not smoking cigarettes")

Good 'dis-proof' !
but time and money could be an issue of multiplication as easily as addition

the city of mayberry and also where 'The Cleavers' lived are both based on the same real-life city in Virginia near Roanoke, not sure of the exact name of the town though

the south magnetic pole is at the 'north pole' and vice versa - opposites attract!

manchester united fans were once banned from all matches in england save those held at their own stadium

photos of the landing on the moon are supposedly doctored because of the light sources being entirely wrong, and something to do with the 'van allen belt'

bourbon is only made in Ky, because we have the reserved-right to call our whiskey bourbon

Horus, the Eygyptian god was Isis' brother early in Egypytian religion, then Osiris came into the picture, and they made Horus the son of Isis

Bob Dylan's name is Robert Zimmerman

Traffic was supposed to be recorded in Louisville, Ky, but was moved across the river for some reason, therefore the louisville-nativ producer says the next flick he does (next year) will undoubtedly be in louisville

plastic bags over the magnetic strips of credit cards will allow the card to be read when it says it is unreadable most of the time

in the sky, if it twinkles-it's a star, if it doesn't-it's a planet

man-made satelites are designed to travel at such a horizontal velocity that the object 'falls' around the earth

I have a few really random facts.

I duck's quack doesn't echo.

American car horns beep in the tone of F.

In an average day, a four year old child will ask 437 questions.

I have tons more, those are just the really random ones.

Rob! Since you're the math buff, who said "Statistics is nothing but lies, damn lies!"??? All of my stats teachers would always mention it; but my brain would usually be turning to mush from me getting sooo confused during class.

SigmaChiCard 06-21-2001 09:59 PM

40% of all statistics are fabricated
