Consider the following proof.
Let w = work, m = money, p = power, e = evil, and t = time.
----------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST POSTULATE: "Money is power."
m = p
SECOND POSTULATE: "Money is the root of all evil."
m = sqrt(e)
THIRD POSTULATE: "Time is money."
m = t
----------------------------------------------------------------
It therefore follows that:
p = t = m = sqrt(e)
Giving us:
t = sqrt(e) and p = sqrt(e)
Power, the rate at which work is performed or energy is transmitted, is given as:
p = w / t
Substituting power and time for the root of all evil, which we have shown to be equivalent, and solving for w, we arrive at:
sqrt(e) = w / sqrt(e) => e = w^2 / e => w^2 = e^2 => w = e
Yup. You saw it here. W = E. Mathematical proof that work is, in fact, evil. EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLL!!!
