I'd like my steak medium-rare, please.
Here's an appropriate shirt for the occasion. 🙂
So should we begin celebrating at precisely 3:55:35?
Which brings up a nostalgic question.
Who remembers converting decimal degrees the "old" way?
Degrees -, 60 *, minutes minus, 60 *.
But the video is 3:24 long. Not a good choice.
In Engineering PI = 3
At least that's what one of my engineering professors used to say.
3.14........1:59
In Engineering PI = 3
"close enough for all practical purposes...."
Happy PI (Half Tau Day, 2011) day!!

Where is John Halleck? Haven't heard from him in ....
Why don't we celebrate the square root of 2 day?
41 days after 1/1 would be 2/10. We should have a celebration of 1.41 day on every February 10.
