Women ≠ evil

This post is an attempt to repudiate a certain misogynistic proposition being circulated for peer review and approval via electronic mail since dinosaur age (read: pre-social-networking-websites era). Cleverly disguised as a "mathematical proof", it tries to equate women with evil. For those who need a refresher, I have provided the so-called "proof" below. It is highly improbable that you haven't already seen it. However, if you are still using AOL as your primary email account, it is very likely that you haven't. Also, you were probably born two decades before dinosaur age. No offense meant.

 

The Proof:

Mr. Benjamin Franklin said
time = money … (1)
 
Few souls frustrated with their girlfriends/wives say
women = time x money … (2)
 
Substituting equation (1) in equation (2)
women = money x money
∴ women = money2
… (3)
 
Bible says (somewhere),
money = √evil 
money2 = evil … (4)
 
Using equations (3) and (4), we get
women = evil


However, here is the contradiction!

Problem I ∈ NPC

Problem I ∈ NPC (Non-Functional Pre-Frontal Cortex)

1) I ∈ NP (Not-Functioning Properly) : We can use this post as a "certificate" to verify that my brain is totally dysfunctional.

2) Next it can be proven that I ∈ NP(Non-Functional Pre-Frontal Lobe)-Hard because my brain seems to have shrunk to size of a peanut and peanut is hard.

Q.E.D

The Only Constant is Change

This post may be a wee bit abstract, but it isn’t philosophical. Anyone expecting a profound discussion will be disappointed. It may also seem rather long but it is merely a conglomerate of short posts with one central theme i.e. ‘Change’.

1. Change of residence: This serves as an excuse note for not having fulfilled my promise to write regularly. Two reasons – 1. My laziness (No elaboration required) 2. My move (Some elaboration required)

Reason for the move – Irrelevant

 
Date of the move – Also irrelevant (Nevertheless, It was 31st Oct. Trick or Treating day/night)
 
Place we moved to - Toronto or so I tell people unfamiliar with cities in Ontario (Canada). For those who are acquainted, the name is North York. Quite a charming place it is. One can see a lot of parks and parkettes around.

[Etymology: ‘Parkette’ – origin Canadian – meaning A very small park with benches and play facilities for kiddies – usage People think I am being super creative when I mention the word Parkette.]


Total time spent – More than three weeks.

 
Overall experience – Summarized in form of an unsophisticated poem:
