Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Thanks!

I think I'll bake something to celebrate this happy day with... Maybe something the name of which suggests that its circumference is divided by its diameter. I'd better mark it with an 'S' for the strawberries I'm going to put inside.

.....and any coming to the Fforum tomorrow, be careful: it will be the Ides of March!

Oops, I didn't stay away long enough. I'll be back on the 16th.

My cat is called Pi and she's a miserable creature so a Happy Pi Day would be quite extraordinary

Is it Pi as in geometrical reference, or PI as in Magnum PI?

What flavour would a magnum pi taste of? Something queer I think.

Not quite sure what you are implying about Magnum; but isn't it obvious - Magnum Pi would be chocolate coated ice cream, complete with a stick handle.

I was thinking it would be like an Eskimo Pi, but with a moustache.


......and it was the geometric reference: March 14th

would like Pi but am watching my diameter

or possibly my circumference

I expect they'll be some somewhere marked with an S for slimming. Avoid the gravy.

Just give me the 12 blackbird version!

Happy breathing!

1st August 1774: Oxygen was isolated from air by chemist Carl Wilhelm and scientist Joseph Priestly. Before that no-one could breathe.

And happy weather day, August 1st 1861 was the day that the Times newspaper published the first weather forecast. Before this date we Brits were silent as we had nothing to talk about.

Do you imply that chemists are no scientists?

You are possibly inferring that. I did not imply it.
All elephants have four legs but an animal with four legs is not necessarily an elephant.

Wrong argument.

When you would say "I see an elephant and a four-legged animal walking in the street", then we are merely to understand that the four-legged animal is not necessarily an elephant?

And, specifically, that there is absolutely no hint on the number of legs of the elephant?

Substitute "emu" for "elephant" to see what I mean.

My point was made - sorry if you missed it.

........new name. In 1984 Upper Volta chaged its name to Burkina Faso

I always thought that 'upper volta' was what happened when you put a new battery in.
