I know it's completely wrong, but if everyone thought like this, the world would be a more fun place for sure:

(1) Alexander the Great was a great general.
(2) Great generals are forewarned.
(3) Forewarned is forearmed.
(4) Four is an even number.
(5) Four is certainly an odd number of arms for a man to have.
(6) The only number that is both even and odd is infinity.

Therefore, Alexander the Great had an infinite number of arms.

-------------------------

Another one is:

A horse has an even number of legs. Rear legs and forelegs. Together this makes six (2+4). Four is an odd number of legs for a horse to have. The only number that is both odd and even is infinity. Therefor, a horse has an infinite number of legs.

Why are Fire Engines Red?

Roses are red too...
two and two is four...
Four and Eight is 12
There are 12 inches in a ruler
Queen Mary was a ruler
Queen Mary was also a ship
Ships sail in the sea
Fish swim in the sea
Fish have Fins
The Finns fought the Russians
Russians are red.
and Fire Engines are always Rushin.

Which is why Fire Engines are Red!

Have you both been studying Senator Daschle's thought processes?

Ms. Clinton also seems to be in accord with this type of reasoning.

Or, maybe it just depends on what the meaning of 'is' is.:confused:

not sure where this came from but it seems to be part of a book. Can you imagine reading pages full of this?


"So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage leaf to make an apple
pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street pops
its head into the shop. "What! no soap?" So he died, and she very
imprudently married the barber; and there were present the Picninnies,
and the Grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top,
and they all fell to playing the game of catch as catch can, till the
gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots."
-- Samuel Foote

Hmmm...that looks like a mix of 'Through the Looking Glass' and 'Naked Lunch.'

i read this on the wall of my philosophy class:

Nothing is better than great sex.
A ham sandwich is better than nothing.
Therefore, a ham sandwich is better than great sex.

Hey, I'm an Aaron... :)

How about these:
a=b
ab=b^2
ab-a^2=b^2-a^2
a(b-a)=(b+a)(b-a)
a=(b+a)
a=a+a
a=2a
!?1=2?!

And

Girls can be described by a simple constant

Beauty * Intellegence * Availability = Constant

Maybe throw a little insanity in there too somewhere.... :)

So, solve the equation:

2a-a=0
a=0

b=0
