Todd would be great. Would not surprise me if they added Hard Working Americans, Schools and Neal Casal will already be there.Meanwhile, meaningless statistics increased 6.24% last quarter....

HWA would be a great add.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

No....actually that is 42.Wrong. It's because 27 is ALWAYS the correct answer to any question. That or purple or obsequious.
Exactly

x = y.
Then x2 = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x2 - y2 = xy - y2.
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x + y = y.
Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
1 = 0.

x = y.
Then x2 = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x2 - y2 = xy - y2
0 = 0
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x-y = 0
So dividing by 0 you get
0/0 = 0/0
x + y = y.
Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.
When was it stated that y was non zero?
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
1 = 0.

y is nonzero

but the equation isn't correct. The division is wrong but it is useful to tricking those who don't Live4Math

Division by zero is undefined and meaningless.x = y.
Then x2 = xy.
Subtract the same thing from both sides:
x2 - y2 = xy - y2
0 = 0
Dividing by (x-y), obtain
x-y = 0
So dividing by 0 you get
0/0 = 0/0
x + y = y.
Since x = y, we see that
2 y = y.
Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.
When was it stated that y was non zero?
Subtracting 1 from both sides,
1 = 0.
"To the persistent but misguided reader who insists on asking "What happens if I do divide by zero," Derbyshire (2004, p. 36) provides the slightly flippant but firm and concise response, "You can't. It is against the rules." Even in fields other than the real numbers, division by zero is never allowed (Derbyshire 2004, p. 266)." Wolfram.

IT'S ON!!! I will meet him on the field of calculation at dawn. I have to warn you I am packing a Frederick Post Versalog 1460. It's a 27 scale Dec 1970 model made from Kagoshima Prefecture large diameter bamboo coated in celluoid manufactured by Hemmi on the island of Kyushu. Yes, I do have the case!Don't let my husband know that or he'll be challenging you to a slide rule duel.I'VE GOT A SLIDE RULE AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!
And I know how to use it! Actually I KNEW how to use it but not so much anymore. Sad. We sent guys to the moon with slide rules.
