Tom Poje Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 So go and celebrate at 1:59 even if the ADP tests aren't finished. K2retire 1
Lois Baker Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The celebration this year -- 3.14 15 -- is at 9:26:53 hr for me 1
Tom Poje Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 forgot to add, you are supposed to chant Cosine, Secant, Tangent, Sine 3.14159 hr for me 1
GMK Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Proper rounding would indicate that you should wait until 9:26:54 (i.e., 53.59), although I can see no objection to celebrating during the entire second. Either way, it's a good day to occu-pi a bakery.
BG5150 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 So go and celebrate at 1:59 even if the ADP tests aren't finished. Hopefully your tests were finished by Friday the 13th. Good luck getting any refunds done on the weekend... QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
Tom Poje Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Bye Bye Miss American Bye..oh wait it's Pi, pi, mathematical pi but maybe only someone as 'irrational' as me can enjoy this. I don't even understand how or why the link I posted pops up the way this does ( then skip to the song if you want to avoid some preliminary comments) A long, long time ago Long before the Super Bowl and things like lemonade The Hellenic Republic was full of smarts And a question resting on the Grecian hearts Was "What is the circumference of a circle?" But they were set on rational numbers And it ranks among their biggest blunders They worked on it for years And confirmed one of their biggest fear I can't be certain if they cried when irrationality was realized But something deep within them died the day they discovered pi. They were thinking CHORUS: Pi, pi, mathematical pi 3 point 14 15 92 65 35 89 7 932384 62 6433832 7 (not rounded) VERSE: Well this kind of pie is different than most It hasn't got berries, ain't spread on toast And that's how it's always been We keep extending its decimal places Pushing our computers through their paces But we'll never reach the end So why the fascination with A number whose end is just a myth Whence the adulation For mental masturbation It might have something to do with the stars To calculate distances from afar But that's just a guess 'bout the way things are Regarding the precision of pi I am pondering CHORUS: VERSE: Now I feel that I should mention Pi is applicable in any dimension At least as far as I know If there were no Pi we'd be missing things Like marbles and mugs and balls of string And sports such as soccer and curling The orbs in their celestial paths Navigate along elliptical graphs Ellipses have pi in them too Just one side of them has grew You can see pi in most everything It's in Cornell's Electron Storage Ring And also in slinkies and other springs And that's why it's important to know pi You should memorize CHORUS: OUTRO: Once one night I had a dream That pi was gone and I had to scream Cause all pi things had disappeared (pause) Can you imagine a world like that Circles aren't round and spheres are flat It's the culmination of everything we've feared 'Twas a nightmare of epic proportions One that gave me brain contortions Oh wait! I mean contusions They put me in some institutions But then I escaped and now I'm free To sing of the virtue of pi CHORUS:
GMK Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 can't remember the tune for this , but someone once wrote: Good bye, copyright law. Who can put some teeth in you? If you go and steal their music, Maybe they will sue you.
david rigby Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Horror story. Many years ago, I had a professor who testified against a bill in the state legislature that sought to define Pi as 3. Yikes!

Tom Poje Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 count the letters in each of the following words: how I wish I could recollect pi easily .......................... oh and happy Friday the 13th all.
GMK Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Tom, I get 31 ... number of days in March?, Money and Finance title of the U.S. Code?, withholding section of IRC?, ... no, no, I get it now. 31 is the reverse of 13. You sly fox, Tom. Have an extra piece of pi tomorrow. "Today's word" is in fact two words. The first word is the ever popular: Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13) The second is the less widely known: Paraskavedekatriaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th) Use them in your casual conversation today.
Tom Poje Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I should have been more specific, each word separately... how has 3 I has 1 wish has 4 I has 1 could 5.....

GMK Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I should have been more specific, each word separately... how has 3 I has 1 wish has 4 I has 1 could 5..... and I don't know is the shortstop, right?
pmacduff Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 oh and by the way, GMK, the tune for your March 11th post sounds to me like "Ruby Tuesday" by the Rolling Stones....
GMK Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Lay on, Macduff, and thanks for the reminder. Using the tune of "Jennifer Juniper" just wasn't working for me.
