You have to specify that it's with respect to d[cabin] though.

(Integral) d[cabin]/[cabin] = ln[cabin] +C

Which is a natural log cabin plus sea, houseboat :)

Yup. A houseboat sounds 'bout right to me

How 'bout this?

Prove all numbers are interesting. We will proceed by induction:

1 is an interesting number because it is the multiplicative identity over the field of the integers.

2 is an interesting number because it is the only even prime.

3 is an interesting number because it is the sum of the first two interesting numbers.

4 is an interesting number because it is the first perfect square.

5 is an interesting number because it is both prime *and* the sum of the first two prime numbers (did I hear someone say, "Goldbachs' Conjecture" )

And, proceeding in this way, we continue until we find a number for which no interesting properties seem to exist. But this raises the question, "What propertie(s) or characteristic(s) of this number make it be 'non-interesting'? And, as soon as we begin to investigate this question, the number becomes interesting.

Therefore, *all* numbers are interesting. QED

A log cabin

I've heard some geek tell this. I refused to answer then and I refuse now. I know the answer and there have probably been 10 answers above but this is just low.

No, a houseboat. You forgot to add the C.
