Pin those danish rolls to your ears and cue up the Star Wars clips!

after lunch, at precisely 1:59 and 26 seconds everyone should draw a circle and bisect it.

I think the princess is the only bisect-ual here... :wink:

and she doesn't even know what all this pi business is about.

Pi is the ratio of a circle to it's diameter.  the numerical value of Pi is 3.1415926.....

today is 3-14.

so on 3-14, at 1:59 and 26 seconds, draw a circle and then draw the line cutting it in half (bisecting it) which gives you the diameter.

math geeks will enjoy auspicious good luck if they do so.

i see. is the idea to biset a circle at 1:59:26 yours?

there are as many ways to interpret the exactness of pi day as there are digits following the decimal...now, tomorrow is a holiday. it's much easier to fear something than it is to worship an imprecise precision.

we've just set a record for most postings for a set that hasn't started.

And here's "Heroes" -- a '77 bonus track before the fact.

Yes, that was just my sudden inspiration.

But how do you celebrate March 15th?  Put on some Ides of March record and eat a Caesar Salad by repeatedly stabbing into it with a steak knife while watching the adventures of Popeye?

But I'm not complaining, exactly...

Monday ...  welcome to the working week.
It works. I'd almost always rather hear Alison.

exactly. except for the popeye part. and ketchup on the salad.

"Shadow Captain", Mark -- what were the odds?

[princessofcairo]

hey, it's the captain again! that's weird. three times in one morning.

There are NO coincidences!

You have to watch Popeye so that you can hear someone talking to a Brutus.  But you're right, we need some blood on the Caesar.

So watcha doin' fer lunch tomorrow?
