Happy Pi Day

Posted on 03-14-2008 at 12:00:00 pm by Justin, 110 words, 1920 views

Today is Pi day (March 14 or 3.14 ... get it?)! According to the exploratorium, the "festivities" began at "1:59" (har har!) although I can't quite figure out what the festivities are. Also, since I'm sure you need them, here are the first 10,000 digits of pi.

As for my personal homage to pi, I came up with the following pi haiku (pi-iku?):

Can I know a wheel, according to nature round, and never complete?

There is a secret meaning behind this haiku. Can you unleash the nerd within and figure it out?!?

In other news, it's also Albert Einstein's birthday today. Aint that a coinkidink?

The explanation actually helps shed some light for those places where dd/mm is the more typical dateformat!

I'm an engineer. We're not so worried about exactness, more about getting it to work "well enough".

So I celebrate Pi day on July 22.

I like your "pi-ku"! Unleashing my nerd within, I do notice you chose the number of letters in each word very carefully.

Can(3) I(1) know(4) a(1) cycle(5), according(9) to(2) nature(6) round(5), and(3) never(5) complete(8)?
