Did You Know Today Is Ha -pi- Day? World Wide Celebration Of Π by Nobody: 11:32am On Mar 14, 2016 |
Thank God today is π day! You know there's a day for everything. There is Women's day ,Saint Valentine (another Women's day ), mothers' day , even holy Mary's day . Well, the international community did not forget also to create a day for the constant π. π is that constant that usually gives you headache, because it is irrational. There is no pattern in its decimals, and no predictability whatsoever. It reminds me of some women According to Teempakguy: Teempakguy: But it is meant in a positive way: Teempakguy: In the very same way, a woman can change your life from the worst to the best, if you just know how to show her love, faithfulness and dedication. And If you bear some of her flaws, because none is perfect, including you and I. Indeed without the number Pi, most of our beautiful architectural masterpieces would not be possible like the Pyramid of Kheops, the geodesic domes of Buckminster Fuller, and so much more. Yes, and without our great women, there would be no beauty, no salt, no light, no brightness in life. But back to topic. So every year on the 14th of March, lovers of the number pi gather in various countries. You know, those countries where people know the value of Science, not some of our countries, where more importance is given to religion, corruption, ethnic division . So they gather, eat some nice "pi" (pie) cake and sing: Oh Ha pi Day! Disclaimer: This thread is not an attempt to bash our women. They are the ones who brought us to life. Just trying to get some of our folks to be interested in Science. The only way forward for Africa in this new techno-scientific world, is Science and Ethics. Greetings to all. cc.

hehehehe . . . . I remember when I first learned about pi, I think I was in primary five then, and my Uncle told us how some guy called Archimedes found the value of pi. There was no Internet in our house then, But I kept the guy's name in my mind. in fact, I think Archimedes was the first Scientist I ever googled. I even thought he was a black guy. Anyway, Happy Pi day, geeks! Let's marvin gay and get it on. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lalasticlala Mynd44 Seun come and see President Obama celebrate Pi day. Only in Africa, we don't know the value of science!!! I like pie. That’s not a state secret. I like comeback stories, too. So in celebration of Pi Day, I wanted to share a great letter about both. https://www.facebook.com/potus/posts/464044987118680
