I'm going to prove to you that 2+2=5 So You know how schools have taught you to believe that 2+2 is 4? Well that's the government's fault. It's actually 5. So the number two and the number two is 4, but there's another 1. You know why? Because there's only one number, and it's 2. That gives you the extra 1. That makes it 5. Schools just tell us it's 4 because of the government.
