    I have no respect for other people's way of thinking. I hope you can respect that.

      In my book,

      8 = 8

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

            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.

            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.

                      Turning 8 on its side makes it everything (or infinite). :)

                            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 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.

                                      No, all rational, irrational and transcendental numbers are also real numbers. Numbers can also become a little unreal, but that may be too complex. :-)

                                      This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                        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.

                                          I learned this is true for large values of 2. :laugh:
