Lasagna is a good way to prepare small amounts of people. For instance, you happen to have an arm or something lying around that could be used as evidence against you. Now for a whole body, what you need is chili.
Gah!! This is why math is abused by the vernacular hard core, especially with ideas that are designed to be described in set theory terms. This is the mathematical corollary to English's comma problem (i.e. I'd like to thank my parents, God and Ayn Rand).
I realize, but the standard x=y, y=z, x=z fallacy that people use alot is a bete noir of mine. I was being joking exhasparated, all in good fun. The set theory description would be something like: People are a subset of things that are nuts, nuts are a subset of things that are tasty, lasagna is a subset of things that are tasty, however two sets being a subset does not imply equality unless both sets are either the null set or the whole set itself. Also, the use of homophones/homonyms i.e. "nuts". I know that you were joking, but it's sad how many people actually try to use arguments like that seriously.
Huzzah, someone else posted this, so I don't have to. Because I was totally thinking "Man, I'm gonna have to call him on using the subset relationship as an equality in this proof" when I read the post. And I probably would have made a snarky but joking comment about English Majors, and then it would have been ON. And we don't want that.
