For those of you who understand Math.



Axiomatic Mathematics
That’s the way it’s done.
The number 3 will simply be
A 1 + 1 + 1.

But should you want the number 4
Don’t fret, here’s what to do.
Just go ahead and multiply
(1 + 1) by 2.

And 2, my friend, is 1 + 1
And dot associates
And over +, it distributes
(it also commutates).

But (1 +1) dot (1 +1)
It equals 2 dot 2.
And there you see, I’m stuck again
I don’t know what to do.

Let’s try again - So 1 Dot Q
Is Q, because you see,
For dot in Z, the number 1
Is called Identity.

So Q dot (1 + 1) will be
Q + Q, you know.
‘Cos dot has distributed here
( a step I did not show)

Put (1 + 1) instead of Q
And look at what you’ve done
You’ve gone and added 1 + 1
Again to 1 + 1.

But 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
It equals 4, you see.
And after all that crap and tripe
You can say Q. E. D.

Wow... this is brilliant... quite funny but it actually makes sense, too... ;-))

I've just stumbled across a comment you wrote on one of my pictures I posted, that one with the chess board/the stairs by Escher... Apparently there is no way to send messages on here (I don't use this blog thingie very often, so I can't tell for sure though...)

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to post a comment. :)
