I agree that some of the stuff was pretty silly, like if I remember correctly there was mail created from a fake account to make the former leader of Calamity look bad.

I had an 'lol' moment...that was the day BB lost his forum-trolling virginity and raged in vent for a good hour...was very amusing xD (btw he was still Directer back then)

Anyways of all the days for me to troll, and to find this ^^ Amusing stuff.

Any post in the Dreamweaver section that is remotely entertaining gets closed. -_-

Every post/thread that's breaking the forum's rules will be closed/edited. No need to QQ about it.

And Loar, you know you will show me that sexy thing b:dirty

I'd solo to head room for Grim if he ever wanted to FC. I think he's too busy closing threads on DW forums to level his archer, though.

Have you guys ever been on the general discussion board? Most forum goers are mouth breathing half-wits incapable of forming even coherent sentences, let alone reasoned discourse.

As a shameless, bumbling troglodyte, I affirm this individual's apt conclusion.

Enlighten me please?

1/0=2/0.....so 1=2? XD or did you have something more complex in mind?

::contains excitement::

Since you asked

::cracks knuckles::

The lamest example I can think of is this:

1*0 = 2*0 (certainly true since both sides are equal to zero)

dividing both sides by zero results in 1*0/0 = 2*0/0

which incorrectly yields 1 = 2

The quintessential example is this one:

Say some number a = b

now multiply both sides by a --> a^2 = a*b

now subtract both sides by b^2 --> a^2 - b^2 = a*b - b^2

now factor both sides --> (a + b)(a - b) = b(a - b)

(So far all that we've done is legitimate, if pointless. Here's where things go bad...)

divide out (a - b) --> (a + b) = b

remembering that a = b, replace all a's (or b's) with the other variable --> a + a = a

simplifying --> 2a = a
in other words: 2 = 1

I can give more examples if you want. b:cute

When I took general proofs courses, they always had a component where we had to "spot the error" in fallacious proofs. The 1=2 one is always an easy one, but my favorite is this one:

Given some number x, that is between 0 and 1 --> 0 < x < 1

Now take the natural log of both sides (and remembering that ln is valid for all x > 0 and preserves the given order) --> ln x < ln 1

Now ln 1 = 0 so --> ln x < 0

Dividing by ln x on both sides results in 1 < 0

ln x is negative for 0<x<1 =p

Teppeii - Dreamweaver wrote: »

Sure... let's see...

There are a few calculus ones to "proove" that 1 = 0, but I don't know if you have any background in calculus. A fast one that I can pull off the interwebs is this one that messes with the associative property and infinite series:

Given a convergent series --> 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 +...
Remember that 0 = 1 - 1, so substitute that --> 0 = (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) +...
Now we use the associative property --> 0 = 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) +...
Keeping in mind that 0 = 1 - 1 (and, of course, -1 + 1) --> 0 = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 +...

This leaves us with the very incorrect statement that 0 = 1

As for more fun and creative ones, I haven't the time to find them right now.
