... I didn't get any of that.

And what do morals have to do with math, anyway?

[kyudousha]

It's because you're about as mathematically-challenged as it gets.

And it should be pretty obvious, shouldn't it? -2 = 1. Two wrongs make a right.

[phantomfenton]

Hey! I'm not that bad.

And are you even sure that's how it works? I thought the equals sign meant that both sides were the same.

[kyudousha]

You saw the proof, didn't you? Though yeah, you've pretty much nailed the problem, right there. The fact that both sides of the equation obviously don't add up pretty much points to a mathematical fallacy.

Two wrongs only make a right if a third wrong is prevented indefinitely.

[kyudousha]

Pretty clever, aren't you.

[chose_death]

You flatter me.

[eyebrow]

I don't consider myself a complete fool, no.

[kyudousha]

Only a fool would consider it flattery.

[a blink. this has got to be something a little more beyond a math error...]

-- Rita?

[kyudousha]

Mm- yeah? Oh, it's you.

Did you want something?

[...yeah that math? NO IDEA MAN but here, have some old man wisdom]

Ya know, it kinna depends what ya mean by "right" and "wrong" and what' "positive" and "negative".

Not everythin's that's positive is right, and not everythin's that's negative is wrong.

[kyudousha]

[... wow. It actually got through. She considers this.]

... huh. You actually have a point there.

[notjustanoldman]

[old man pout] Hey, whaddya mean by that? I always have a point.

[kyudousha]

[hand wave] And never when it matters. You should work on your timing, old man.
