X) Chakrams, to be precise. xD If I can figure out how to make them well enough... Muahahahaha. 'Cause although there are Keyblades galore on Ebay, I haven't seen anyone do anything else... like chakrams... or, for that matter, Riku's sword... |

I'm selling some old videos of mine, hopefully there'll be enough money there for me to get some materials for the Keyblade/chakrams project. =3 |

All right, I don't quite remember how to do the fake proof that shows that 1=0. But this one shows that 1=-1! Assume: x=1. Then, x^2=1^2=1 x^2=1 Subtract 1 from both sides, and you get: x^2-1=0 Distribute that (you need to have done quadratic algebra to get this next step), and you'll get: (x-1)(x+1)=0 Divide both sides by the quantity (x-1), and you get: (x-1)(x+1)/(x-1)=0/(x-1) zero divided by anything is zero, and (x-1)/(x-1)=1, so that gives you x+1=0. Subtract 1 from both sides, and x=-1. Which means that 1=-1! Now, there is a flaw in that. Where is it? Because you change from working with x to working with x^2. If x^2 = 1, then x (in this case the square root of 1) can equal either 1 or -1. |

We'd get an average of maybe $300/week or so. But then, once in a great while, we'd get something really valuable. *Remembers a military pin that sold for over $1000* |

If x^2 = 1, then x can equal both 1 or -1. Exactly. Squaring the thing introduces an extraneous root. Also, x-1=0, and since you can't divide by zero, that step is mathematically wrong. |

I'm sure that dentists would have a different opinion than non-dentisty folk, but I'd say...go for it! At least, once the fluoride has hardened. |
