+ Gar1eth Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Nobody except another sufferer knows the nights of agony I've endured. And now I continually have phantom pains!! The Onion Report: Male Hair Loss 7 Times More Painful Than Childbirth http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/1587/2/16x9/1200.jpg NEWS IN BRIEF August 23, 2011 VOL 47 ISSUE 34 · Science & Technology LOS ANGELES—According to a study released Wednesday by the California Pain Medicine Center, subjects suffering from male- pattern baldness were found to experience a level of physical pain at least seven times more intense than that experienced by women during childbirth. "Clinical studies show that as hair gradually separates from the scalp, men experience intensifying waves of all-consuming pain equivalent to having their insides ripped out through the thousands of tiny follicles on their head," said Vincent Kwan, who led the all-male research team that carried out the study. "While strong uterine contractions and tearing of the vaginal walls undoubtedly cause a degree of discomfort among women in labor, balding men would give anything to experience those sensations instead of lying awake and suffering all night as their hair thins." Kwan stated that men's remarkable ability to endure years of excruciating agony without the aid of epidurals or other powerful analgesics was a testament to the sex's unrivaled tolerance for pain.

+ Gar1eth Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Revisiting this chestnut... It took me a second. But I remembered something my 10th grade geometry teacher pointed out to my class (40 years ago now) when she performed a similar proof. (X - X) is equal to zero. You can't divide by zero and remain in the Real Number 'Realm'. Therefore @AdamSmith your proof is sadly invalid. Gman PS Now if I could only remember where I put my glasses 10 minutes ago.

I don't think that's the error. Line 2 is incorrect, specifically the part after the equal sign. MsGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I don't think that's the error. Line 2 is incorrect, specifically the part after the equal sign. Does x^2 - x^2 not factor out the way it shows up there? (I can't remember how any more. Senescence!) If so, that's just a goof. The real error that allows the apparent proof that 1=2 is the division by zero. @quoththeraven, I thought you yourself pointed that out when we brought up this case a few months ago?

Zman Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Isn't the error line 3? You can't divide by zero so line 3 is only true when x-x <> 0. And that's not defined (in the real numbers at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
