It was cases like hers that prompted the 555 ruling, as I recall.

But 555-5309 just doesn't have the same ring to it.

When I first saw that, my reaction was that the universe has one heck of a programmer.

Another thing that totally impresses me is all of the math that follows by relatively simple logic from the Pythagorean Theorem.

What about this guy?

They should use his name in a salad dressing . . . Or with corn chips.

Forgive me, in my haste, I accidentally cropped too much of his signature, clipping the segment at the top. What he does there, too, is purposeful and significant, dependent on how he would view it.

* Hack, ptui! *

Which makes sense to me since it’s about the vacuum above the props - not the downwash (as least as I understand it)

Downwash has nothing to do with it, and really, the vacuum above the moving rotor doesn’t either, because there is no pull exerted by an absence of air. It’s the LIFT from the air pressure differential from below the rotor that pushes the helicopter up by air molecules striking the molecules of the material in the rotor wing.

Graham’s number. WARNING: May explode your brain to try to understand it.

You’re right. That’s a real mind cracker.

My daughters, back in grade school memorized it for “Pi Day”. Different math classes. Whoever memorized the most numbers got a piece of pie.

The one did something like 160 significant figures. She said the next closest was like 30, and third place was 10. The other daughter did it to over 200.

AOC’s Number = 2 , the number of brain cells she has to knock around inside her skull.

Looks like a “Wyoming Werewolf”.

Take the rear end of a deer down to the taxidermist - stick the tail up, put some eyes on it’s haunches and then mount it on the wall behind the bar.

[Downwash has nothing to do with it]

Of course not.

It’s just like wing lift, basically.

Regarding the earlier COLB, I think it's curious how he was so fixated on it saying "African" instead of "Negro," the 1961 term. He must have had his lawyer put that in as a special request.

No, the COLB didn't require as much "work from behind." Barry's lawyer picked up his copy of that in 2007, before the decades-long CIA-asset, Loretta Fuddy was brought into the HDOH to shortly become its Director, despite her not having a medical degree, as had all her predecessors. No matter, she was nonetheless suitable for the politically-oriented intel and forgery work that would soon befall her position.

When PDJT began his media tour in the spring of 2011, a few months ahead of the time one might expect a presidential candidate to announce his candidacy, he would ask the TV "news" media wherever he went, "Why do you suppose he doesn't show his birth certificate?"

Coincidentally about the same time throughout the country, there was a billboard campaign that asked, "Where's the Birth Certificate?"

On 4/27/11, he allowed his White House Counsel, the 28-year chair of Perkins Coie, a renowned specialist on election law, to present the newly-minted LFBC at the White House correspondents' press conference he gave. "Curiously," no cameras were allowed. (Now why do you suppose that would be?)

Three days after the White House Counsel and Savannah Guthrie's TV intro of his LFBC, Barry made a 17-minute humiliating diatribe against PDJT, intertwined with a slick Hollywood presentation at the 2011 White House Correspondent's Dinner. The media present lapped it up, insuring that PDJT would never attend that event, at least for the foreseeable future--for those jackals!

Barry and the media were relentless in their use of The Donald as a whipping boy in their use of the terms "birther" and "birtherism," ridiculing his calls for a birth certificate that would supposedly in black-and-white disclose that little Barry was born somewhere other than Hawai'i.

Then amateur and professional document specialist alike began going public with many indicia of forgery on Barry's LFBC and even in its file structure. Just as it rose to a crescendo, Barry used the occasion to call down a SEAL Team 6 raid on a compound in Pakistan to take the no-longer-living-anyway, might-as-well-be-made-useful-as-a-media-distraction Usama bin Laden. *Poof*!   No more screaming "The-LFBC-was-Faked! headlines. Barry the Usama-killer to the front page, including pictures from the carrier of his Imam-led burial ceremony.

How different the world would have been if Barry the Usurper hadn't been able to overwhelm via forgery and Hollywood-assisted, faked showmanship The Donald from the 2012 Presidential race!

My favorite pi approximator (for use with dollar store calculators with no Pi key) is 355/113, it was developed in medieval China I think, read about it in, hmm, L. Sprague de Camp?
