Matt’s life in a post titled The Authoritative Guide to Programmer Classification has classified programmers into three categories: “The Dork“, “The Geek Who Doesn’t Want to Be a Geek” and “The Geek Who Know’s He’s a Geek — And Loves It“.
The post then elaborates on how they go about their daily life. It is definitely a fun read.

Given that a and b are integers such that a = b + 1,
Prove: 1 = 0
1. a = b + 1 (Given)
2. (a-b)a = (a-b)(b+1) (Multiplication Prop. of =)
3. a2 - ab = ab + a - b2 - b (Distributive Property)
4. a2 - ab -a = ab + a -a - b2 - b (Subtraction Prop. of =)
5. a(a - b - 1) = b(a - b - 1) (Distributive Property)
6. a = b (Division Property of = )
7. b + 1 = b (Transitive Property of = (Steps 1, 7) )
8. Therefore, 1 = 0 (Subtraction Prop. of =)
The flaw is in going from step 5 to 6, where you divide by 0

Here is a mathematical proof that Girls are Evil:
I guess those who did not believe in the hypothesis(Girls are Evil) should have sufficient proof to believe in it now

Engineers, Scientists, and Technicians almost never make as much money as business executives.
Let’s see a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power (Knowledge = Power)
Postulate 2: Time is Money (Time = Money)
As every engineer knows, Power = Work/Time
Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money (from postulate 1 and 2 above), we have Knowledge = Work/Money
Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work/Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.
Conclusion: The Less you Know, The More you Make.
