Public Service Announcement: It's PI, Not PIE!

[Jimmy Snyder]

pi = 3

Kings 7:23 He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.

Kansas has its work cut out for it.

 

[zoobyshoe]

New editions have this footnote:

Ten cubits is the pattern diameter and thirty cubits the actual cast circumfrence. There is shrinkage during cooling.

ROFLMAO!
Being a girl from the Southern U.S. I must confess being a little under-educated when it comes to pie. You see, we rarely have pie for dessert. We primarily have deep-dish cobbler and sometimes something called a "buckle". (Has anyone else heard of blueberry buckle?)

Yes, and they even sell a baby food version of blueberry buckle. Those dishes all fall within the family of crisps, crumbles, grunts, slumps, brown betty's or pandowdy's. Basically a sweetened dough and fruit combo. MMMmmmmm gimme 'sum more grunt!

I've never heard it called grunt or slump before! Grunt, must be named for the sound you make if someone tries to take it away from you before you're done with it.

I WAS THERE!

I ate the last Denby Dale pie! It was awesome, there were 30,000 people eating this 12 tonne pie and drinking beer in the middle of a field. I can't believe you know about that pie! I'm impressed!



Here's a nice picture of the pie I ate!

I must say, that is one very imaginative and impressive-looking pie! Did you eat the tires too, or were they just for decoration?

I WAS THERE TOO! It was delicious!

WOW!

Small world eh, only 30,000 people eating this pie, and two of them were me and thee!

It was fantastic! I was visiting a Huddersfield lass I'd met in Newquay, she just called me up and told me to go and eat a huge pie! Needless to say, I didn't take much convincing. Just got hammered in Denby Dale, and ate pie and drank beer and just generally behaved like a Yorkshireman! It was swoonworthy.

In fact, my best friend's dad turned down the opportunity to tow the pie with his traction engine!

Ohhh the pie memories!

Don't be silly, you're interrupting our bonding session here!

Don't be silly, you're interrupting our bonding session here!

I'm not sure that admitting that you were acting like a drunken Yorkshireman with another woman is the best way to bond with a new girl.

I'm not sure that admitting that you were acting like a drunken Yorkshireman with another woman is the best way to bond with a new girl.

Hey, she was obviously there for a reason too, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the pie!

Also, I wasn't acting like a drunken Yorkshireman...

 

[brewnog]

And now, in the EE forum, I find out that icvotria is Yorkshire based too!

Oh this keeps getting better and better!

 

[Danger]

Also, I wasn't acting like a drunken Yorkshireman...

Oh, well... that's different then.

I think you touched a nerve there, Danger mate...

 

[Math Is Hard]

And I thought I was touchy about pi!

 

[Moonbear]

I thought we already established that pi is supposed to be rounded!

 

[icvotria]

I'm not sure that admitting that you were acting like a drunken Yorkshireman with another woman is the best way to bond with a new girl.

Actually, I find drunken northern letharios terribly irresistable. Especially when they eat pie.

It's ok, Yomamma did round it!

 

[JamesU]

Ten thousand digits

Swooooon!

I'm not quite sure what a lethario is, but I don't know what a groundhog is either. Perhaps they're similar?

 

[brewnog]

Ten thousand digits

Now, when programming lecturers say "tell me the 9585th digit of Pi", I'll know what to do!

 

[JamesU]

Any reason for 9585?

And for future reference:

Pi is 3.1415926535987...
Not: 3.14159265435987 NO 4 AFTER 5!

I'll show you:

Just how the hell big do you think my drawing board is? As for pi, I just stuck 22/7 into the calculator and that's what came out. I've only bothered to memorize it up the the first '9', and I have no intention of going further with it.

I think you touched a nerve there, Danger mate...

See? That week and a half of dental school wasn't wasted.

And I thought I was touchy about pi!

I thought that was pee.

I'm sorry to hear that. Treatment is available.

Well, they both like to burrow.

And there is that fur-pie thing...

I can get 14

Ach! Just to clarify, I meant Denby Dale pie, not lady pie... maybe I'll remove the from that post so as not to confuse the issue.

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Damn, Danger beat me to it.

 

[Danger]

The response would have been the same anyhow.

Damn, Danger beat me to it.

Don't worry. I'm old and slowing down. You'll have plenty of shots at getting there first.
