Mathematical Proof That Girls Are Evil

My best friend sent this to me last night. I thought it was hilarious, so I just had to share. No offense, ladies.

I’ve seen the same for the Teletubbies.

The Teletubbies were made by the BBC which cost the time and money:

Teletubbies = Time x Money

And so on! Heh.

thanks,

i knew there was mathmatical science behind the feeling. now i know i am not alone.

I must say as a math major that your proof is incorrect. anecdotally I’ve found quite frequently that girls themselves are not evil but loving them seems to be.

money is not equal to time. money is proportional to time. i.e T=C*$
the constant C is important. now the proverb “money is the root of all evil” is actually a mis-quote of a certain 1st century Christian theologian. the proposition is that the LOVE of money is A root of all kinds of evil. so what we have here by substition:

t = C*$
Girls = t*$
therefore Girls = C$^2
we add “the love of” two both sides of the equation to get
the love of girls = love of C$^2
but since the love of money is a root of evil,
the love of girls = love of C*sqrt(all kinds of evil^2)
which easily simplifies to
the love of girls = constant love of all kinds of evil.

no apologies. when theology, experience, and mathmatics all agree, who am I to argue?

well, technically speaking, through cancellation wouldn’t your theory also mean that:

love of girls = constant love of all kinds of evil.

cancel “love of” and cite the real quote well (without “kinds of” because I doubt that a 1st Century text would use those words, making it more like “the excessive love for money is a source of evil”):

girls = constant evil (through cancellation)

therefore… proving the original mathematical sequence of events correct?

Not to mention the fact that “and” implies addition, “of” implies multiplication… so girls “require” time and money would be more accurately represented as “Girls = Time + Money”…
