Okay, let me spell it out for you.
Satire. You know what that is?
Plus.
Sarcasm. And that?
Sarcasm + Satire = ?
Good job!
They don't add.
Sarcasm + anything = just sarcasm.
Sorry.
I'm not sure you *get* wit.
Are you suggesting anything is a constant equal to zero?

I'm sure you meant a limit approaching infinity. |

All this is lost on me. Are their any derivatives of the above that I could understand? |

Depends what size of infinity you want. The amount of fractions between 1 and 2 is just as infinite at the amount of fraction between 1 and 10, or the total amount of potential integers from 1 upwards (or downwards), and the fractions between those bounds too. Also, you can't have a limit approaching something. If you haven't reached it, it isn't a limit.

Don't make a goon look smart. His point was you can never reach infinity. You can only tend towards it.
You probably trolling..meh

Err, you have a couple of weeks before they'll get the jammers back....
I don't think you 'get' my post.
See, there's this thing called satirical sarcasm.
There may well be such a thing, this however isn't it. A rule of thumb would be, irony + sneering = sarcasm; irony + parody would yield satire.
The thing with sarcasm is it's more about the delivery than the words, and is notoriously difficult to write, as you have indeed proven. I don't see any elements of parody either, which just leaves irony - where the literal meaning is the opposite of the intended - which you did actually achieve.

er enlighten me as to "the worlds most famous university" please :)
Silly bugger, anyone making such astonishingly arrogant statement is transparently american which offers you up the contest of Harvard or Yale. A statement I'd dispute, for among other reasons, on the grounds that obtaining a degree in the US has 3 options:
1) You are smart enough 2) You are rich enough 3) You are very good at sport
I'll bet windypants is a 1 or a 2 though, he does not strike me as the 'quarteback' type.
