[CorNokZ]

Is today and also Einstein's birthday \o/

How do you plan on celebrating the best day of the year? I'm thinking of making an apple pie

Mmmmm, pi.

We can never truly measure the circumference or the area of a circle because we can never truly know the value of pi. Pi is an irrational number, meaning its digits go on forever in a seemingly random sequence.

Egyptologists and followers of mysticism have been fascinated for centuries by the fact that the Great Pyramid at Giza seems to approximate pi. The vertical height of the pyramid has the same relationship to the perimeter of its base as the radius of a circle has to its circumference.

The first 144 digits of pi add up to 666 (which many scholars say is “the mark of the Beast”). And 144 = (6+6) x (6+6).

Enough stuff there to put your tinfoil head on (to celebrate).

 

[rynnor]

Belief in 'pyramid power' makes believing in god look rational though

I mean if you get as low as something 'approximating' a mathematical constant then you are in la la land - 1- 1/3rd is not exactly unusual.

And the height thing is comical since it has lost a few feet over the millenia so are they basing it on some guestimate of the original height or the denuded peak it has now which would rather blow the 'ancient wisdom' angle out of the water....

Always eating Pie. Hard to understand on ventrilo because his mouth was full all the time.

Never has a thread proved the level of geekery in here so strongly.

I for one have sent the missus out for steak, I have beer and Senna to watch on DVD tonight before she attends to her other duties due on this date.

Pi and Einstein Jaysus.

 

[ileks]

2pi is better

 

[ECA]

Tau > Pi.

Steak and BJ Day, mens version of Valentines Day

 

[CorNokZ]

the pie I made

was really good

 

[Scouse]

Nice pie CorNokZ, but mine is clearly superior as it is marked so:



Also, being full of venison and red wine it is clearly full of superior ingredients too!
