from the Facebook group "We fully acknowledge the True Ultimate Ass-Kicking Power of Leonhard Euler":

Leonhard Euler is well known for being the most kick-ass mathematician in recorded history. By 'kick-ass' I don't mean he was the greatest mathematician - we all know that was Gauss - but whilst Gauss was the Gandhi-like figure of mathematics, Euler was more like Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Genghis Khan, the Terminator and Galvatron all rolled into one (and he was good at sums too). He had 1337 skillz and could pwn Gauss's ass in a straight fight.

This is a group for all those who fully acknowledge the True Ultimate Ass-Kicking Power of Leonhard Euler.

Facts About Leonhard Euler:

Euler has counted to infinity. Twice.
- Me

Euler can draw triangles in the Euclidean plane whose interior angles sum to more than pi radians.
- Me

Euler can prove Fermat's Last Theorem in the margin.
- Pat Nelson

Euler didn't have to solve the Basel problem; he stared it down and it solved itself.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler can write out all the digits of e. And pi. At the same time. He can also write out the digits of i, it just takes a little longer.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler has walked the Königsberg bridges without crossing the same bridge twice.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler taught Chuck Norris to divide by zero. Euler also taught him the roundhouse kick.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler's Möbius strip has three sides.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler once clubbed Daniel Bernoulli unconscious with a wooden beam.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler did not calculate the parallax of the sun; he told the sun what parallax to have and the sun complied.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler does not prove theorems. He wills them to be true.
- Karina Lynne Summers

Euler proved the Continuum Hypothesis... he then gave a counterexample. He didn't publish it because it was "too easy."
- Benjamin Hayes

Euler can graph functions in four space, he uses a pen to do it too, because Euler makes no mistakes.
- Benjamin Hayes

Euler once got into an argument with a colleague, he then showed that the assumption of his colleague's existence led to a contradiction. His colleague disappeared without a trace.
- Benjamin Hayes

Euler can decompose any object into immeasurable pieces and put them together again into two copies of the original object with his own bare hands.
- Magnus Dahler Norling

Euler chose not to publish the Special Theory of Relativity for himself in 1753. In doing so, he delayed its discovery for nearly two centuries, but he gets off on that sort of s**t.
- Thomas Murray Grant

In addition to his astounding progress in the field of mathematics, Leonhard Euler invented the "motorcycl". It has 2.718 wheels.
- Thomas Murray Grant

Euler can trisect angles with a single punch to the vertex.
- Brian Birgen

Euler can square the circle and circle the square at the same time with one hand tied behind his back.
- Brian Birgen

Euler killed Evariste Galois in a duel. On May 31st 1782, (before Galois was even born) Euler fired a shot in the air which fell to earth exactly 50 years later, killing Galois.
- Brian Birgen

Euler factorized RSA2048. Twice.
- Kerem Kat

Ever wonder why when you differentiate e^x it remains the same? It saw what Euler did to the equations governing fluid dynamics and decided to stay put.
- Me

Euler alone keeps all the zeroes to Riemann's zeta function on the line r=.5
- Kris Cao

Euler disproved the Goldbach conjecture, using six as a counter-example.
- Pat Nelson

A prime number can only be divided by 1, itself, and Euler.
- Pat Nelson

Euler totally had sex with Bourbaki's grandma.
- Pat Nelson

Euler doesn't have to imagine taking the square root of negative numbers.
- Justin Cyr

Euler can provide multiple prime decompositions for any given integer.
- Chase Mechanick

There is no axiom of choice; there is only what Euler allows you to choose.
- Саша Чен

Euler likes bridges, especially solving them.
- Jack Benjamin Cottrell

There's Euler - he knows the score!
- Jack Benjamin Cottrell

Lisez Euler, lisez Euler, c'est notre maître * tous.
(Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all.)
- Pierre-Simon Laplace

Euler can win Connect4 in 3 moves.

Euler has an Erdos number of -1.

God created the integers, all the rest is the work of Euler.
