Proof techniques #2: Proof by Oddity.
SAMPLE: To prove that horses have an infinite number of legs.
[1] Horses have an even number of legs.
[2] They have two legs in back and fore legs in front.
[3] This makes a total of six legs,
which certainly is an odd number of legs for a horse.
[4] But the only number that is both odd and even is infinity.
[5] Therefore, horses must have an infinite number of legs.
Topics is be covered in future issues include proof by:
intimidation,
gesticulation (handwaving),
"try it; it works",
constipation (I was just sitting there and...),
blatant assertion,
changing all the 2's to n's,
mutual consent,
lack of a counterexample, and,
"it stands to reason".
