Yeah, and he was also the lead singer of that other band. What was it called again? Maybe Pearl Jam could tell us.

Question: Back in the time, soldiers used pilums as long ranged javelin weapons. However, once it was thrown and comes into contact with something, the metal head would instantly snap off. Why?

[Qbe]

Because they were cheaply made by the modern-day Wal*Mart.

Question: Prove that 1=2. (Yes, it is possible.)

[Kim]

Let us assume that a=1 and b=1

a=b

a^2 = ba <- Multiply both sides by "a"

a^2 - b^2 = ba - b^2 <- Subtract b^2 from both sides

(a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) <- Factor

a+b = b <- Divide (a-b) from both sides

(1) + (1) = (1) <- Plug all the values back in

2 = 1 QED PWNED

Obviously there is a reason why this is merely a joke, because there is a flaw in it, let's see if you guys can figure it out.

[Troll King]

This solution has a fault in that you divided both sides of an equation by (a-b). Unfortunately, since you let a and b both equal 1, you are in essence dividing both sides by 0. If we were to remain in the domain of real numbers, this is an illegal operation.

Nice. I've got a friend who can name 103 digits or something like that. It's funny to hear him do it. I wonder if at digit 80 or something he just starts saying random digits.

K Kim close enough. You win.
