Dejhan_Tulip has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Talking Re: .999~ = 1

Everyone's proving stuff...
Well... 2 = 1
Why ??

Check this out... nothing illegal and you can go backwards

a = b
ab = b^2
ab - a^2 = b^2 - a^2
a(b-a) = (b-a)*(b+a)
a = b+a

So if a=1, b=1 too (since the first thing I assumed was a = b )

1 = 1+1 ???

Have fun...
Don't flame... I am putting this to have some fun
