2 (number)

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

“Do not discriminate against us who doesn't have two...”

~ Jens Ivar

“Big Brother”

~ Number 2

“Where the fuck did you hide in the 1940's?”

~ Adolf Hitler on Jens Ivar

Plural form of 1, although 2 can be as bad as 1 (it's the loneliest number since the number 1). The uppercase form is @, except in Rest Of World where it is "

“Two's a crowd, man!”

~ Triumvirate

It's just this number, you know?

The official slogan of 2 is "This time, it's not 1".

2 is the only even prime number, which makes it quite odd.

2+2 approaches infinity for very large values of 2.

2 is also the eventual destroyer of Civilization and Justice as we know it, as according to Oscar Wilde.

2 is the number of cows that you have. (You have two cows)

2 is the girl/boy your bf/gf is holding hands with when you're with number 3, making you number 10987087 in his/her visitor's list.

2 is the minimum number of gods you need for polytheism. Alexander Shulgin has even invented a whole drug family called 2C just to honor the number 2.

[edit] Gołębiowski's recursive formula for 2

This formula allows you to compute 2 with given precision. It also looks like a Triforce turned upside-down. You may also notice that it each triangle of the triforce is also made up of triforces.

$2 = \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} = \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} = \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} = \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} + \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} }{\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}}} =$

$\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} + \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} }{\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}}} + \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} + \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} }{\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}}} }{\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} + \frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}} }{\frac{ \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} + \frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}} }{\frac{ \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} + \frac{ 2 + 2 }{2} }{\frac{ 2 + 2 }{2}}}}} = ...$

Compare with half.

This formula is known for being very obstinate and conservative. For example substituting 2 with 3 or 654 doesn't affect the result:

$\frac{ \frac{ 3 + 3 }{3} + \frac{ 3 + 3 }{3} }{\frac{ 3 + 3 }{3}} = 2$

$\frac{ \frac{ 654 + 654 }{654} + \frac{ 654 + 654 }{654} }{\frac{ 654 + 654 }{654}} = 2$

Heck, it even works with the integer DeLorean, and the imaginary number Aerosmith. Unfortunately, there is already a proof for 1+1=3 2 got kicked out of the number line, put itself to the period instead.
