Happy pi day!

You can’t build your layout without it.

Steve,

And the same back at you! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Make mine apple !

We’re visiting in the Baltimore area,

A local pizza place (Blaze Pizza) has a Pi day special one topping individual pizza for $3.14. Weather conditions may preclude us taking advantage.

Actually, Steve, I can’t live without this to make sure my track radii and diameters and round objects such as the water tower are accurate:

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781640628620899862803482534211706798214808

edit: reduced because I think I just broke Bob’s server at one million digits! But this is close enough for the ten-foot rule.

Akira Haraguchi is 69 and he holds the world record for memorizing pi at over 100,000 numbers.

He says: “All things in this world, including ourselves, are aggregate sums of atoms, which are made up of rotating electrons. The ultimate history of mankind is moving toward a happy ending for people of all races. The earth, the galaxy, and the universe all rotate. In other words, I think rotation is the absolute truth. So as long as I’m thinking about pi, I think I can live a life according to truth.”

Before you think he’s crazy, let me quote what his family says about this: “My family are not interested in pi at all. To them my interest in pi seems to look like an enormously harmless hobby, and in that sense, they welcome it.”

Hmmmmmmm…family and friends not interested…an enormously harmless hobby…sounds like…TRAINS! This my kind of guy!

And John, 3.1415 is usually close enuff fur me.

Gary, I prefer cherry Pi.

I just had a whoopie pie to celebrate national Pi day.

In school they kept telling me that pi are square, but I’ve never seen one that wasn’t round.

Ray, there were several lies I was taught in school;

Pie are square

We will have a paperless society

computers are fast

When you have a problem, talk to an adult that is in charge. They will help you. (biggie lie)
