woohoo for pi

Huh?

It's March 14th today!!!

3.14...

So could we have pi minute and second? What are they? I don't want to break out the confetti and paper hats until the correct moment in radial time.

All your Pi are belong to us!

Here in the UK it's 14.3

Well that's just wrong. I declare a jihad. No more European calendars!

what a queer thread

14th day of the 3rd month of the 2007th year.

Makes more sense than:

The 3rd month, on the 14th day of that month, in the 2007th year.

To which I add this:

Of course, Pi is embodied in the dimensions of the Great Pyramid, whose base perimeter length just happens to be half an arc second, time/distance, derived from the precession rate of the Earth's axis.

Two base sides of the GP, 880 royal cubits, divided by the height, 280 royal cubits, equals Pi, I bet they celebrated Pi Day back then too.

Would that not make Pi day every day?

I'll bet they executed people for loony argumentative points too.

Every day is certainly Pi Day, our modern timekeeping system is based upon it.

The 3rd month, on the 14th day of that month, in the 2007th year.
3rd month, 14th day, of 2007 AD.

Blowing out his brains was the best part.

From what?

Here in the UK it's 14.3Europeans do such a great job with sensible addresses. Put the country first because that's what the postman needs to see first, and put the house number last because he only needs to know that at the end of the route when he's on foot going door to door.

But then they blow it with dates.

2007.03.14 is the logical way to record a date. Like any other number, you should put the high-order digits first. You can sort dates in that format as one data element, without having to break them up into three. It's the same logic as putting the country name first. It doesn't much matter what day you're talking about if I have to wait until the end of the sentence to discover that we're not talking about the same year.

If someone asks you, "When's your birthday," suppose you say, "The nineteenth..." They immediately start thinking, oh golly whiz I have less than a week to put together a surprise party for my new friend. They mutter some excuse and run out the door to make reservations and invite all your other pals, and they're so preoccupied that they don't even hear you say, "... of February," which gives them a whole year to plan.

You can say "The Fourth Of July" (in America) because that phrase has been enshrined. It's Independence Day, one of our national holidays, and we rarely refer to it as "Independence Day." But it's just plain silly to say "The Fourteenth of March."

lol, after that video GeoffP posted, it linked me to this:
