The Ides of April is the 13th. Really unlucky when it falls on a Friday.

Everything is relative.

Did you know Albert Einstein was born on Pi Day!?! How are you going to celebrate these two momentous occasions?

LOL!!! I miss Dubya too. Perhaps a little too far to the left in terms of gov’t spending, but a man of solid character who stood on principle.

I beg to differ. April 13 is Tax Freedom Day. Nothing to beware of that.

Ferdinand von Lindemann in 1882 proved that Pi was transcendental in 1882.

So it wasn't transcendental before or after 1882? ;-)

BTW, there's a small utility, SuperPi, that you can use to assess your CPU processing power. My Core2Duo E8200 needs 52 sec to calculate 2M digits of Pi. Have at it, fans!
