February 4
It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the day everything changed. The day was Babylon 5 Three-Dayge, Day 3. The place was FiveMinute.net.
This concludes our brief excursion to Epsilon 3. There's still lots of B5 to cover, though -- and Sa'ar is staff now, so you can expect it to keep coming. Up next: Doctor Who! (Picky clerical note: I've interchanged the colour codes of 5MB5 and 5MFY. The lighter brown is easier on the eyes and thus should go with the subsite we'll be hearing from more often.)

Sa'ar: Idiom, sir? ... Idiom! Unless, of course, this is just the 2+2 = 5 day of the Three-Dayge. If that were the case though, this should be number 5: Quote:

I also put in a massive pile of other references...I think there's one line that contains about five by itself.

Most amusing, all told, though I've gotten some odd looks from the other library partons as a result of bursting out giggling so many times. Ah well.

2 + 2 does = 5
...for particularly large values of 2.

It's an old math joke. My favourite version is that pi equals 3 for large values of 3 and small values of pi.

How about this one:
x-y=0 Therefore, 2x-2y=0 Therefore (x-y)=0, and 2(x-y)=0 Therefore (x-y)=2(x-y) Therefore 1=2 :P

Along those same lines, but without the divide-by-zero, I've always liked the proof as to why 0.9(bar) equals 1.
(what I wouldn't give for a bar notation...) let x = 0.9(bar) Therefore 10x = 9.9(bar) Thus 10x - x = 9.9(bar) - 0.9(bar) Thus 9x = 9 Thus x = 1
