Large values of 0
-
Who said (with regard to the expression 0 == 1) something along the lines of, "0 never equals 1 - except for large values of zero and small values of one"?

It is a common saying for 1 and 2, never heard it before for 0 and 1 - specifically because 0 is a more tricky case.
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

Dunno who said it first, but here's the proof that two plus two equals five, for large amounts of two;
decimal A = 2.7m;
decimal B = 2.6m;
Console.WriteLine("{0} + {1} = {2}", (int)A, (int)B, (int)(A + B));I'm sure that I've seen similar jokes in a book of Douglas Adams. As a sidenote, this only works with numbers. In case that you put two rats together, you might end up with either nothing, or a whole lot o' them :)
I are Troll :suss:

surely (0 == 1) is the same as (false)
