I thought about this in math class. 2 + 2 CAN equal 5, and I'll prove it to you using simple pictures. This is not a joke; I am absolutely serious. I am ready to give my life defending this theory. Kind of.

First Take two ropes. In each rope, tie two knots. It should look like this:

Now, as Dictionary.com defines it, "addition" is:

How do you unite two seperate ropes? You need to turn them into one, am I right? So, do just that; tie the two ropes together to form one. It should now look like this:

Now, you can argue that I had four knots to begin with, but they were on two seperate ropes. The tying acts as the addition sign in this case. Apart you don't have four knots, you have two ropes with two knots. It's as if they are two different equations.

I'm really tired and it's a school night, so I'd like to defend myself but I need sleep so you can talk and debate and all that but this is a run on sentence.

2+2=5
