Girls are EVIL, as shown by Maths
First post here so, Hi.
Right, so:
Girls are Time and Money -
Girls = Time x Money
Time is Money -
Time = Money
Thus:
Girls = Money squared
Now, we all know that money is the root of all evil -
Money = Root(Evil)
Substitute "Money" for "Root(Evil)" in the "Girls = Money Squared" equasion and we get ...
Girls = Root(Evil)squared or Girls = EVIL!

Old. So very, very old. Still, I don't doubt that somebody will probably find it funny since they'll never have seen it before.

You can prove pretty much anything with maths for example 2=1.

As R4V3N correctly pointed out, the problem of equations proving that 2=1 invariably involves dividing by zero. In ordinary (real-number) arithmetic, such an expression has no meaning.
However, a somewhat similar invalid proof that fascinates me is the one that proves that ∞ = 1/4. The funny thing with this type of invalid proof is that it can be "checked," unlike the ones that rely on division by zero.
Proof that ∞ = 1/4
Since an infinitely large plane has the coordinates of (-∞,∞) × (-∞,∞), this means that
∞ = [∞ - (-∞)]²
Which can be simplified to
∞ = (2∞)²
The rest follows naturally:
∞ = 4∞²
∞/∞² = 4
1/∞ = 4
1 = 4∞
∞ = 1/4
This proof's fallacy is using ∞ (infinity) to represent a finite value – in reality infinity is thought of as a direction as opposed to a destination.
PS: The girls = evil proof is only funny if you've heard the expression "girls equal time times money". The way you present it, it should be girls = time + money or girls = time AND money, none of which would give you the desired result.

The problem is that 1/∞ = 0 and can't be 4.
Another problem is that ∞/∞ = ∞, because ∞ has no definition.
Why it has no definition? Because the mathematicians need an area were they can postulate problems which you can't proof: In the infinity, everything is possible...^^
Was it comprehensible?

Even then... ?/? is undefined. so is ?/?². Anyways, don't bother with it fellas. Every mathematician trying to figure out infinity turned crazy!

I prefer the boobies joke on the upside calculator. Yet I have never been able to master the secrets to that one. Jus have to wait to find a similarly childish person to do it for me...
_________________
Not really a boobies one but theres a little story that goes a bit like ths....
A 13 year old girl has 84 boobs and wants 45 so the doctor gives her 2 pills but she takes 4 and ends up...
Type 1384452 in to your calculator as you get to the numbers in the story and when you get to "but she takes 4" multiply 1384452 by 4 and turn your calculator upsidedown to find how she ends up.

That's exactly why it's not a correct proof. I'm treating ∞ as any other value and not the concept of infinity. If infinity hadn't been infinity, ∞/∞ would be 1 and provided that the area of an infinite large plane is (-∞,∞)², ∞/∞² would be 4. Of course, this isn't correct; infinity is probably a lot greater 1/4 and can't at any rate be given a proper value - it's infinite.
