          Here's one I love:

          Let A = B
          A x B = B x 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

          A proof that 1 = 2???? Not really....see if you can catch why not.

            Yes, because when u say A=B+A, thats not true because A and B are the same...so 2A doesnt = A...

              A + A dosent equal 2A, it should just be A.

              I had to consult MantisMag on this one of course! I remembered seeing that in my Discrete Math class in college but forgot why it was false.

                  Let women = Time + money

                  time = money

                  women = money x money

                  money is the root of all evil
                  .................___
                  money = V evil
                  ..................___......___
                  women = V evil X V evil

                  women = evil

                  I knew it. . . . but I still love 'em!

                    Why buisness majors make lots of money

                    time = money
                    knowledge = power

                    power = work/time

                    knowledge = work/money

                    money = work/knowledge

                    as knowlege approaches zero money approaches inifinity!!

                    ain't calculus grand?

                          Because you multiplied by zero (A-B), You can not multiply by zero. If you multiply anything by zero you can make it whatever you want, it's not maths ...

                            YES!!!!!!!!!

                            Manike is CORRECT!!!!

                            It took me a long time to figure that out!!!!
                            Cause at first glance I was all concerned with the formula being correct!!!! Once I plugged a number in and got to 0 = 0, I got it.
