I can sum it up in three words.

C'mon guys, it's no joke. He just hit the "i" instead of the apostrophe. "Evolution's a lie", see?

Now, only 100 posts to go.

 

[keith99]

Isn't that four?

I count four.

Does anyone else count four?

Yup I can sum it up in 3 or even 2:

Evolution is true.

Evolution happens.

I think this shows it helps to not be able to count to disbelieve the evidence for evolution.

There are only 10 kinds of people in this world -- those who understand binary Mathematics and those who don't.

Which really sucks when you are a 3rd grader who does and have a teacher who not only does not understand binary but who even denies its existence.

Serious question?

The full joke is "why do computer scientists keep dressing as witches and ghosts for christmas and decorate trees on halloween? Because OCT 31=Dec 25".

31 in octal (base 8) is (in decimal) 3*(8^1)+1*(8^0)=3*8+1*1=24+1=25.

Ah!

I didn't realize it was a joke.

I just though it was an exercise in mental acuity.

I still like the one I came up with:

Farmer Brown has 10 cows.

He sells some of them and now has 12 cows.

How many cows did Farmer Brown sell?

2 And 2 of the others had a set of twins each.

I sometimes leave quirky math or language problems written in dry-erase marker on the microwave. That's the last one I left. The eldest Bratling was on the right track, but none of the three figured it out on their own, despite the baby Bratling having just covered non-base-10 systems in school. To their credit, none of them Googled for the answer.

Yeah we should steer clear of them.

 

[HitchSlap]

Evolution is a lie.

Apparently, math is too.

 

[AirPo]

Yeah we should steer clear of them.

I'd steak my reputation on it.

This thread is a waste of time, there's meatier discussions elsewhere.

And anyway, I got no beef with evolution.

And anyway, I got no beef with evolution.

There's other subjects to get your teeth into.

Evolution is a lie.

With such a well thought out and supported argument, scientists don't stand a chance.

Scientists thrive on chance.

After all, that's how the universe got started ... wasn't it?

And wasn't Thalidomide in beta when scientists were pushing Francis Kelsey to approve it here in America?
