1 + 1 = 3?
Yep, that is correct. Rachel is currently 11 weeks into the pregnancy that will, God willing, produce the next Supercinski generation to walk the earth. Our plan of world domination has begun…
We are excited!

I was wondering when you guys were going to announce this. I am so excited too!!
Awesome! Congratulations! I’ve got to hang out with ya’ll sometime soon.
Congrats! (I abbreviate b/c I can’t spell out the full word)
You guys have your act together; God bless! I can barely feed/dress myself without getting confused and you’re out populating the the Lord’s gene pool.
So two lines means pregnant? Or is it the color change? Those things come with instructions right?
If it were me, I’d make a new type of “baby in the belly” detector that would shock the person if it’s a yes. Wait, it’d shock the baby too which would be bad. I guess shock the person holding it if it’s a “no” then… I need some glucose.
Here’s some parenting advice concerning food: cucumbers taste better pickled. (by the way, I just drank 2 red bulls)
I can’t believe you guys are pregnant…you move off to China and when you come back all your friends are married and having babies…=) What the heck is that about??? I’m truly excited for you all and can’t wait to see you all and your baby-belly and Funky V’s wedding.
ahhh…finally…i kept this little secret for what….four weeks? and i only told two people!!…i’m proud…of me and of ya’ll…for populating the world with beautiful little blue-eyed, overly analytical, curly-headed munchkins with Godly names…names that reflect both our new testament and old testament hertiage…a name that sums up the gospel in a single phrase, like ‘jehovah saves’ …and a name that gives credit to the great pillars of our new testament faith…seriously though, i love you guys, and knowing your hearts to the small extent that i do, i know without a doubt that you will be great parents.
WOW! I AM SO SURPRISED! go nfp! i love ya’ll and remember aunt nessa when the kids hair is out of control and you have no ideas!
man! I figured this was bound to happen, and happen it clearly did! I won’t lie, when I saw Rachel in the 17th row at church the other weekend while I was on stage, I thought maybe she was pregnant (the gleam in her eye gave it away like a present). Well done team! (Joshua, you are truly hilarious)
DO, are you serious? The look in my eye was probably saying, “oh no… I’m gonna puke and here I am in the middle of the row…” Anyway, we haven’t seen you since then, sad.
a = b
a^2 = ab
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2
(a + b) * (a - b) = b * (a - b)
a + b = b
then, since a = b from above
b + b = b
2b = b
2 = 1
thus, since 2 = 1
1 + 1 = 3 is true.
correct me if I’m wrong, but in the equation above:
(a+b)*(a-b) doesn’t = b*(a-b)
and therefore
a+b does not = b
did I miss something? I mean, I studied it for a while…
Well, actually, (a + b) * (a - b) does equal b * (a - b). Mr. Hays’ proof leads to a contradiction ( 2 = 1), which, in mathematical proof land (reality), means his proof is INVALID.
The basis of the error relies upon the nonuniqueness of zero. If a = b then a - b = 0. Take a look at the 4th line of the proof, (a + b) * (a - b) = b * (a - b). What have we done? We’ve just multiplied by 0. What can be called the “division property of equality” states that if ab = ac, AND a is not zero, then b = c. Mr. Hays has egregiously violated this property.
Let’s rewrite the proof:
a=b true
a=a true
a^2=a*a true
a^2 - a^2=a*a - a^2 true
(a+a)*(a-a)=a*(a-a) true
So far so, good, though everything equals 0
a+a=a this is false, unless a=0
a+a=a false again
2a=a false
2=1 false
oh man… I found my error (who forgerts about binomial rules… there aren’t that many) and Thomas, you’re right. Of course. But, let’s face it, in mathematical proof land (reality) you are indeed going to make 3 from 2… so I think the correct answer is three halves.
very impressive T.
Glad that my little mathematical joke did not cause your world to collaspe upon itself.
what the mathematical proof really means is congrats on baby, and name it Steven or Stephanie.
Congratulations, Thomas and Rachel! It was really good to see you on our way home and see your new tummy, Rachel! We are really looking forward to meeting Baby SuperC.
Also, now that you will have a new baby to tend to, I am worried about the bunny family in your front yard and have a proposition for you. (Jeremy says you will not go for this, but I say you are big-hearted, plus I read today that a wild bunny couple can have 144 baby bunnies a year, so maybe you will have some to spare). Our home has a spacious hole under it which I think I could convert into a comfy wild bunny condo. I bought a book today, “Rabbit Adoption for Dummies,” so I think I would make a really good bunny mom. If you are feeling attached to your current bunny litter, would you be so kind as to keep me informed if subsequent litters follow? Jeremy would love to drive me to CS to pick up some wild bunny babies if your bunny family continues to prosper, I feel certain. Much obliged.
Thomas - like I said… I would hear about this ALL the way home…
