Um... Jesus existed. That much is historical fact. So I don't see how anyone can not believe in Jesus. They can, however, not believe he was the son of God, or that he rose from the dead, and all that jazz.
But he did exist.

But my reason for liking the page number has nothing to do with Jesus.

What?I thought:

666 - Satan
777 - Jesus Christ
888 - Chinease lucky number

To me, 888 is three infinity symbols put together :D I find that cool

a = x
[true for some a's and x's]

a+a = a+x
[add a to both sides]

2a = a+x
[a+a = 2a]

2a-2x = a+x-2x
[subtract 2x from both sides]

2(a-x) = a+x-2x
[2a-2x = 2(a-x)]

2(a-x) = a-x
[x-2x = -x]

2 = 1
[divide both sides by a-x]


If you can figure out the trick without cheating (searching, blah blah blah) you will win a very special prize.

If a = x, then (a-x) is 0, so you can't divide by it. You will get undefined, not 2 or 1.

Yes, that's something I didn't make quite clear in my reference to him. I agree with you, and that is my belief as well, although I could be saying that because you made an excellent case and want to appear equally enlightened.

sabrown: 666 is correct for the number of the Beast (well, not really, though erroneously it is), but 888 is the Greek number for Jesus. (Wikipedia has a note on this in the quoted text of this section: Number_of_the_beast#616.)

Not sure about 777, howbeit 8 is a lucky number in Asian culture (as illustrated comically in the HSBC advertisement).

You mean pyro was the first car 1-lap down when the caution came out?

<_<

Sorry. My Dad's always been a big NASCAR fan. ;)

I s'pose you could say it like that. Or, you could just say he is the lucky dog.

Actually, the first person to figure this one out gets the same prize!

Statement--- -----------------Comment:
16 = 16------------------------- Reflexive property of "="
4 + 12 = 16----------------------From definition of "+"
4 - 12 = 16 - 24------------------Subtract 24 from both sides
4 - 12 + 9 = 16 - 24 + 9---------- Add 9 to both sides, completing squares
(2 - 3)^2 = (4 - 3)^2---------------- Factor, rewriting as squares
2 - 3 = 4 - 3---------------------Sqrt of each side
2 = 4--------------------------- Add 3 to each side
1 = 2--------------------------- Divide by 2

I'm gonna save this one for other people, but squares (and other powers) should be written as (2 - 3)^2.
(2 - 3)2 is multiplication.

I've been doing a lot of play lately, trying to make a cool username. I've had some success in making up words with Latin meanings, but they all sound corny:
Cosmex- out of the world
Apocosm- separated from the world
Automnicrat- A person that totally rules all
Dynamist- one who pwns
Intrignis- within the fire
Junctman- joining of the hands [I really made it because it sounds like something Fred Sanford would use]

I want this username to be really awesome because I want to get rid of "usedHONDA" for good.

I like Intrignis. Reminds me of Pyrochild.

I always liked the username Entroilcaldo. But Mike Ryan just happens to fit me more. Entroilcaldo is italian for 'Withen the Warm'
