The sum of all real numbers (1+2+3+4+5+.....) is equal to negative 1/12th.

Afraid not. First of all those are natural numbers, not real numbers. Second of all, since they are all whole numbers, they can never sum to anything with absolute value less than 1. 3rd, since they're all positive, they can't sum to a negative value.

I think you're a) thinking of the Euler Zeta function or b) bullshitting us.

Your eyeballs are the one body part that never grow between birth and old age, conversely, your ears and nose are the only body parts that never stop growing.

I always wondered how your butthole knows how fast to grow. If it grows too fast you’re poo will just fall out, too slow and you’ll be constipated.

Okay, well I will give some serious facts.

A woman uses her height in lipstick every 5 years.

Bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun.

In a lifetime, a human will produce enough saliva to fill two swimming pools.

You got me there. I misspoke (mistyped).

There’s a plethora of proofs from some of the most well known mathematical minds including Reimann, Ramanijan, Pauljenski (sp?), and it is used in String Theory.

So, as counterintuitive as it may sound, -1/12th is an actual answer (though not necessarily the answer). This is because of that tricky infinity part of the problem (to your second point). Infinity is a funny thing, some infinities are bigger than others, and summing them can produce some quirky results.

ATM's first used 50 yrs ago by Barclays. How many tellers have lost their jobs?

Pay parking meters first used 85 years ago in OK City. Now the trend is credit card pay.

Die hard was originally suppose to be the sequel to commando, but Arnold was a little skeptical of another sequel since Conan the destroyer did not do so well. The script was tweaked and Bruce should be thanking Arnold everyday

American-born Hiram Stevens Maxim was the inventor of the Maxim Gun – the first portable, fully automatic machine gun. The Maxim gun was first used by Britain's colonial forces in the 1893–1894 First Matabele War in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

Imho, Die Hard and 12 Monkeys are Bruce Willis' best films. As many times as I've seen those movies, when they come on television I still stop and watch them.

I fly over Greenland and the NE part of Canada in the day time a lot. It looks so pristine and inaccessible, and never completely thaws out. Believable.

Outstanding. I've been trying to get through to you. We, and everyone else(in the business,) are looking for people. The pool has dried up.

Yeah I saw your post a while back but by the time I saw it it was too late. I may take you up in a year or two after I get sick of deploying.

You guys require a bachelors right?
