We're 87 different kinds of done with both of these threads.
1) 0.(9) does equal 1.(0) in mathematical theory. But not in the real world, where you cannot actually measure an infinitely repeating number. 0.(9) to the <i>n</i>th place is still less than 1. It is only when you take it to the <i>i</i>th place (infinite) that it equals 1.
2) 64 != 65. The image is an optical illusion; the angles are not the same.
3) I Gorged Your Mom killed both these threads when he created the second specifically to rile people up about this one.
