here's an actually worked out answer
first let us prove that 2=3, this is how it is.
Let us take...,
-6 = -6
this implies : 4-10 = 9-15
this implies : 2*2 - 2*5 = 3*3 - 3*5 (*=multiplied by)
this implies : 2power2 - 2*5 = 3power2 - 3*5 (power is for representin exponents, there's no superscript available, hence 2power2 implies 2*2 or 2sq, n 3power2 implies 3*3 or 3sq)
this implies: 2sq - 2*2*5/2 = 3sq - 2*3*5/2 (multiplicating and dividing by 2 on both sides)
this implies: 2sq - 2*2*5/2 + 5/2*5/2 = 3sq - 2*3*5/2 + 5/2*5/2 (adding 5/2*5/2 or 5/2sq on both sides of d eqn)
this implies : (2 - 5/2)(2 - 5/2) = (3 - 5/2)(3 - 5/2) or
(2 - 5/2)sq = (3 - 5/2)sq { a*a - 2ab + b*b = (a - b)sq}
this implies : 2 - 5/2 = 3 - 5/2 (taking the square roots)
hence : 2 = 3 - 5/2 + 5/2 or 2 = 3 - 0, 2 = 3
now since 2 = 3, therefore 2 +2 = 2 + 3 = 5

Just add 1
2 + 2 + 1 = 5

I'm laughing here! This was from an episode of The Fairly Oddparents. I'm still laughing.
According to the Stephen Hawking figure on the show, Timmy (who stated 2+2=5) used imaginary polynomials to get 2+2=5.
But at the end of the show, Mr. Crocker (the mental teacher) said: "Hey! Two plus two isn't five! It's six!"

(2) Guys take home (2) Gals from the club, and both become pregnant (.5 + .5) babies:
2 + 2 + .5 + .5 = 5

x = 2 + 2
so
x = 4
so
x - 4 = 0
mulitply both sides by (x - 5)
(x - 4)(x - 5) = 0
divide both sides by (x - 4)
x - 5 = 0
so
x = 5
since x = 2 + 2 then it must be that
2 + 2 = 5
As others have mentioned... once you divide by zero
you can pretty much prove anything.

Anything is possible if you have a good lawyer.
"But your honor, but 2+2 can be equal to 5 for relatively high values of 2..."

log 2= log(1+1) = log1+log1= 0+0=0
log5= log2+log2+ log1= 0+0+0= 0
therefore log2+log2= log5
log(2+2)= log5
2+2=5

You redefine the symbols. Let '2' be a symbol for half of 5, for example, or fiddle about with '+'.
Oh, you mean the natural concepts. You can't. Funny how people can't accept 'you can't'.

first ad 2 + 2 then secretly add the 1 when no one is looking ^.^
