Happy Pi Day!
Posted by Eric on 14 March 2001, 06:08 GMT

Today's always a festive day around these parts...after all, it's Pi Day (3/14), perhaps our favorite holiday around here (rivaled only, of course, by e Day and Mole Day). So anyway, before I head off for a heavy dose of pi celebrations, I'll point you all to last year's article, which contains lots of wholesome information about everyone's favorite number, courtesy of our own Andrew Selle.

So...yeah, Happy Pi Day!

Update (Eric): And while we're on the subject, let's take a moment to salute those die-hard Pi celebrators—just take a look at this loyal reader and Pi Day devotee. Goes to show you that all your pi are indeed belong to us.

Hmmm, maybe whoever wrote that used some sort of a logarithmical scale or something. :-) But isn't it amazing how they already had our present thoughts more than 2000 years ago? Wonder if they were thinking about calculator gaming... But this 30/10 thing is actually possible; someone could calculate how thick that rope was. Just how did you find it?

Reminds me of that computer program that comtained a typo and told the user to "Insert dick in drive A". If anyone took that instruction literally, it's a good thing he won't be able to reproduce.

Was that guy using NetScape? If so, I'm not surprised it turned out the way it did...
