if a=b and b=c then a=c - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ExArmyGuy · 04-24-2003, 09:33 PM

In algebra we were taught:

if a=b and b=c then a=c

by using phrases instead of letters and following the formula some interesting "truths" can emerge.

for example:

If God is Love and Love is Blind then God is Ray Charles.

Any others?

Sion · 04-24-2003, 09:40 PM

"If God is Love and Love is Blind then God is Ray Charles."

that is only true if Ray Charles is the ONLY blind person ever.

ExArmyGuy · 04-24-2003, 09:46 PM

Just have fun with it....it is nonsense after all.

YzermanS19 · 04-24-2003, 10:11 PM

I cant think of anything.

If cats are animals, and animals are edible, then cats are edible.

If one is smaller than two, and two is not a crowd, then one isn't a good party at all.

If trees have bark, and bark comes from dogs, then trees are dogs.

Good ones meanSpleen!

Then there is the classic:

If money is the root of all evil,
and time is money,
and women consume time and money,
therefore women are evil.

Don't know if I worded it correctly, but you get the drift.

Peetster · 04-25-2003, 07:36 AM

If you are interested, that's called syllogistic logic. Yes, it can be funny.

If there is no time like the present, and you get presents on your birthday, then your birthday will never arrive.

scapegoat · 04-25-2003, 09:21 AM

heres a long one for ya....dont know if ive posted it before.

1 = 0 = infinity

By you same logic ExArmyGuy
_____________________________________

If any number divided by itself = 1

and Zero over any number equals 0 (ie. 0/2)

and any number divied by 0 equals infinity ( since 0 can go into any number infinite times ie. 2/0)

then 0/0 = infinity , 0 and 1.

meanSpleen · 04-25-2003, 10:33 AM

Um.. scapegoat, the idea of zero being divided into something is that no one KNOWS how many times it can go into something. Because ZERO takes up no space, it is impossible to fill anything with it. Therefore infinity, which is NOT a number, but an expression to signify an unfounded, baseless number is not correct.

If fans blow air around a room, and fans go to sporting events, then sports fans blow hot air.

Peetster · 04-25-2003, 10:45 AM

Exactly, Spleen. You could say that as the denominator approaches zero, the result approaches infinity.

Well go ahead and RUIN all my fun why dont you!!

But since zero takes up no space, it can go into something that does take up space infinite number of times.... Great way to define Infinity if you as me any number divied by 0

But then again this is Tilted Nonsence isnt it

Musicicles? Better be careful and not leave them out in the sun too long... they might melt!

Ogre840 · 05-01-2003, 01:16 PM

going back to the ray charles thing... justice is blind too... so does that mean god, love, justice, and ray charles are all one?

I stole the following from http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/equiv.htm

(i) Criminal actions are illegal, and all murder trials are
criminal actions, thus all murder trials are illegal. (Here the
term "criminal actions" is used with two different meanings.
Example borrowed from Copi.)
(ii) The sign said "fine for parking here", and since it was
fine, I parked there.
(iii) All child-murderers are inhuman, thus, no child-
murderer is human. (From Barker, p. 164; this is called
"illicit obversion")
(iv) A plane is a carpenter's tool, and the Boeing 737 is a
plane, hence the Boeing 737 is a carpenter's tool.

this kind of sucks but it's the only one I could think up:

if paper come from trees, and money from paper, doesn't money grow on trees?
