Some of the equations mentioned were the simplistic 1+1=2 and Euler's equation, ei + 1 = 0. What are some of your favorite equations?"

    Not mine, I saw this on http://pasky.ji.cz/

    First we state that girls require money and time:
    girls = money * time
    As we all know, 'time is money':
    time = money
    Therefore:
    girls = money^2
    And because 'money is the root of all evil':
    money = sqrt(evil)
    Therefore:
    girls = sqrt(evil)^2
    And we are forced to conclude that:
    girls = evil
