Pi Day: 3/14

Submitted by onetahiti on March 14, 2010 - 11:35am.

Today is Pi Day--March 14--in honor of π's first three digits. New Scientist has an excellent article with "Five tasty facts about the famous ratio."

Speaking of round

Today I found an very good tutorial: How to make a round thing without a lathe (plus model making tips)

You'll need free registration to see the larger images; alternatively, see a gorgeous completed Golden Compass.

When I see such lovely works, I once again wish Roane County were trying to lure the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Arrowmont.org) as Knoxville is doing (Link..., Link...). A Roane-based Arrowmont would be a revitalizing jewel. We need more art and artists visible here.

Happy Pi Day!

Nice pi! :) But your post's very long line length from pasting in so many digits has overwhelmed the wrap feature here at RoaneViews. :(

Please, can you break it up with a few returns? :)

Update: I just realized my reply turned off your editing capability. :( Maybe WhitesCreek could do the honors?

Hmmm...

When I looked at it in preview mode it looked like it does now, i.e. wrapped. I'm not sure what happened or if WC fixed the problem or what. I didn't see it failing to wrap. Sorry bout that!

Ahh... the mysteries of electronic posting...

Thanks for the reminder. Got

Thanks for the reminder. Got some Mrs. Edwards Key Lime Pie at the grocery. Not exactly the real thing, but a lot less work.

Just imagine....the mirror

Just imagine....the mirror image of 314 (backwards) spells PIE!

Remember...

Pi R Round!

Hee hee, thirty more minutes

Hee hee, thirty more minutes left....

What do you get when you take the sun and divide its circumference by its diameter?

A Pi in the sky.

What do you get when you take green cheese and divide its circumference by its diameter?

A Moon Pi.

I'll stop now. TGI(pi)Day!
