Today's Date = π
In honor of today's date i thought i would post this. (not mine) btw the date is 3.14
Musings of a Mathematician Note: the number of letters in each word of this poem represents a digit of pi, beginning with 314. The sound O represents the digit 0. Why, π! Stop, π! Weird anomalies do behave badly! You, madly conjured, imperfect, strange, numerical, Why do you maintain this facade? In finite time you are barbaric! You do wonders, mesmerize minds! O, do elements numerous have a beautiful meaning- A system isolating all mysteries, solutions for puzzles, chaos, a O snafu apparent in O Universal Concept from believing lies? That there, obstinate in you, O Strange Constant, A Divine Sign O exists is unlikely unless Is O revealed Something Brilliant, negating belief! In formulas, O, you show yourself in Greek and math as a π forever-- O hidden wonders absconded, infinite, in a tiny constant, O, sneakily, rather? Never, I say! Has anyone seen anything in game that relates to Pi ? I figure with as many geeks (like me) playing the game someone may have seen something but I haven't Well here it to you Pi |

I like how you TRY to tie this into Guild Wars at the end, but this really belongs in the off-topic forum.

The obvious tie to GW is The Legend of Pi [Pi]!
Or, rather, was...   I can't believe I don't have a more recent screenshot... |

Yes it probably does belong in the off topic forum and if a mod wants to move it thats fine...but honestly this board is fairly stale...until tomorrow that is...so i figured i would post something to try and get some sort of worthwhile communications going...rather than whats your favorite weapon or armor. I mean there are several top guilds that reference mathmatics in thier Guild names or tags...so figured this may atleast spark some intrest Although I really am surprised that there isn't any obvious references to PI in the actual game itself since there are numerous references to other obscure things and sayings. |

Happy Pi Day, everyone!
Does anyone else follow the tradition of eating pie on Pi Day? It's really big around here...we used to have pie in math class every year, fun stuff. I had pie for dessert tonight Strawberry Creme...it was really yummy ^_^So I was just curious if you guys followed that as well ^_^ P.S. happy anniversary, Swampgirl

3.141592654 something something something... That's all I can remember of it so far, I was bored in maths in school a couple of years back and memorized it for something to do. Happy Pi day.
P.S. I'd have thought Red Nose Day would be worth more of a mention than this. |
