    6 + 2 = 8 but so does 5 + 3. The way you do things is not always the only way to do them. Respect other people's way of thinking. ..

    Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

    Why not write 8 as:

    2 * pi / arctan(1)

      In my book,

      8 = 8

      So get a grip, man.   Life's just like that sometimes. Symbolically, accept it for what it is.

                  As Pterry taught us, what matters is that you never ever name it. 6+2, 2 times 4, whatever but don't name it directly.

                    Let's pretend for a moment you weren't lying on your side when you replied. Suppose (i.e., 'let') ∞ = ∞ => eight=ate ? I think not! Since a vest has no sleeves, my original preposition stands.

                          2 X 4 = 8 and 2 to the 3rd power = 8. I have 2 dogs with 4 legs each and that makes 8, I just eat lunch.

                                  In my experience so far, almost every time someone posts something like this, they're from India. Is this a cultural thing? Do you guys say these things to each other a lot? Do you actually believe in this?

                                    It's worth being aware that this type of post doesn't normally go over well, here in the Lounge. We're a pretty cynical bunch and posts like this have tended to attract a lot of negativity in the past. Just so you know.

                                      If someone is a stalker, serial killer, abuses women, is creepy, fake, or just an ahole... I'm not going to respect that.

                                      That's all moot if 1 + 7 = 8 :D

                                        6 + 2 = 8 but so does 5 + 3. The way you do things is not always the only way to do them. Respect other people's way of thinking. ..

                                        Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

                                        If someone tries to calculate 6 + 2 by shifting beads on a wire when a calculator is available, I might have something to say about their methods.
