You: Why Dave; why now?
Me: Well, I've a two talented kids; the younger said, 'Stop with the lectures.' Then asked, 'Dad, can I help you set up a blog?' Moments later, Me: 'OK, that's a great idea, thinkin' they might just read it someday.

Mathematics, History, Humor Did whoever discover PI, name it ‘PI’ because he saw the mirror image…. no he named it PIE because he saw the mirror image (you can check that the top becomes PIE and the bottom 314 when you take a CD or mirror and look at it?) But why do we say PI now. Oh, I get it, the guy who discovered it did so because he invented a PIE or a round thing full of fruit, that he named it a PIE because he realized that when he divided the circumference by the diameter he got 3.14, and nobody would call it a ‘3.14’. Or was he such a nerd, he wrote ‘3.14’ with an icing on the top, covered it with some white paper or cloth, and when he got to the party, someone took off the cover and on the white paper or cloth were the letters PIE, the mirror image of 314? Mathematical archeology has a new challenge, oh yea.Pi
