I was hoping to find something interesting.  Such as

let  a = b
then
     a^2             =  ab
     a^2 + a^2   =  a^2 + ab
     2a^2           =  a^2 + ab
     2a^2 - 2ab  =  a^2 + ab - 2ab
     2a^2 - 2ab  =  a^2 - ab
     2(a^2 - ab)  =  (a^2 - ab)

Now divide each side by (a^2 - ab) and you have:

     2  =  1


I tried to present a proof involving square roots but it became
too difficult.  Let's try it in words:

-1 / 1  =  1 / -1

now take the square root of both sides.

The square root of -1 is i.  The square root of 1 is 1.
Therefore we have:

i / 1  =  1 / i

multiply both sides by i, and you have:

i^2 / 1  = i / i

i^2  is -1, and i / i is 1:

-1 / 1  =  1.

But  that is the same as:

 -1  =  1



A layman, a physicist, and a mathematician were eating lunch when
they noticed two men enter a building which they assumed to be
empty.  A few minutes later, three men walked out.

The layman said, "Our assumption was wrong.  The building was not
empty."

The physicist said, "Our assumption was right, but we made a
mistake in measurement."

The mathematician replied, "No, our measurements were correct.
We just have to wait for someone to go into the building, and
then it will be empty again.
