Honestly, how can the current administration ignore evidence such as this??
This amusing photograph has been recently making the rounds in email, so of course, I am happy to share it with you here. Although, if I had made this image, I would not have used the word "proof" in the caption since science discovers new knowledge, it does not prove anything; mathematics does, though.
Thanks, Dawn!

Basically, an almost last call for entries. And to reiterate, a humour piece is needed, plus (plus) additional captions can be supplied if you want to take a chance at modifying your score for better or for worse. Also, note that the prize rocks! (full details below)
The younger Free-Ride offspring's soccer team has been playing in a regional tournament this weekend, and we're girding our loins and guarding our shins to go out and play a second day of tournament games.

Here's some further corroborating evidence.
Thanks for the brief.
I think I'd have added a couple of clothespins just clipped to the line a little to the right of the thong. Funny, either way.
Briefest proof I've ever seen.
LOL, both at image and the comments!
It always amazes me how eagerly climate scientists ignore the many women I know who wear women's' boxers, the style second from the left. Perhaps what is perceived as global warming is in fact men letting their fantasies become unrealistic, as we men are wont to do ...
Mathematics cannot be used to prove anything you want inconclusively. Within a given set, there will exist certain axioms that are impossible to prove with the capabilities of that given set. Also, some statements cannot be proven no matter how much human and computer time you spend thinking about them.
The computer is a great help though. Someone once postulated that you can color the map of the world in four colors without any color touching another color and you could always color the whole map. Nobody could prove it with a mathematical approach. Until somebody fed the data into a computer and it thought for a few days and said that it came up with ways to do this no matter at which country you started. Are we happy with this 'proof'?
