We could end a lot of the mean rhetoric in politics if we brought back duels.
Totally forgot the paper I write for was founded by someone killed in a duel. But Alexander Hamilton shouldn’t have called Aaron Burr a slut.
I know all the digits of pi in the base pi numbering system. It’s 10.
When you want a mathematician to shut up, you yell, “Shut your pi hole!”
Actually, punching them is more effective, but there’s nothing particularly clever about it.
“We could end a lot of the mean rhetoric in politics if we brought back duels.”
I don’t know. I like a good cat fight.
OTOH: if the duels were kept between politicians it would at least reduce the infestation.
I would love to see some politician duels…
It was amazing how Aaron Burr could split his time between being Vice President and filming episodes of “Ironside.”
And when you want a mathematician to communicate, have him send an e-mail because sending pi-mail is messy.
Ba da… crash.
as my old line coach used to say “Pi are square? No, cake are square, Pi are round.” And he used to swear a lot too…usually at me. And I think he drank too. I guess I digress
FYI. Yesterday was Pi Day. March 14 = 3/14, Pi = 3.14… Hello? Anyone? What? Am I the only geek?
“Actually, punching them is more effective, but there’s nothing particularly clever about it.”
Sometimes the simple solution is the one that works the best.
No, Dan, Frank is the only geek here. The rest of us are geek-wanna-bees. (Well, except for Basil who’s a geek-in-hiding and often mistaken for a spice plant.)
Cake is the cubed root of Pie.
Pie finishes all arguments.
Which cam first, the chicken or the pot pie?
Speaking of cake…
Let me eat cake.
I actually made one the other day and there’s still some left. No, really! I mean, I really did – with frosting and everything. Betty Crocker would be proud of me using her box…. cake…. mix.
You don’t care.
Okay, just for that, you can’t have any!!!11!!
Ohhh, Fra-a-a-nk: Pi in base Pi is 1, not 10.
[What’s 2 in base 2? -Ed.]
Pi day should be July 22nd, because 22/7 is closer to the actual value of pi than 3.14…
Just sayin’…
Every number system includes 0 and 1, so Frank wins High Praise from Jimmy!!
Era, um ah, it can also be shown that: § se^x dx = se^x + c
where ‘c’ is some constant (usually nagging) – but it could also be cake. The proof of this theorem is left to the reader.
On the other hand…
If you take away Zero from The One, you’re left with The One which equals a big Zero. So go figure.
Punching (mathematicians) is more effective.
Punching a mathematician is risky. He might retaliate by hitting you with a log.
Why do we pronounce the Greek letter as “pie” when the Greeks say “pee,” as English speakers pronounce the Roman alphabet’s equivalent letter?
