>>And one ancient civilization (I forget which) just couldn’t accept that pi was an irrational number. It upset the harmony of the Universe.
>>So they forced pi to be exactly 3.
Indiana proposed a bill to do the same thing in 1897.
James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) .
Albert Einstein born Mar 14, 1879.
There was someone who boldly posted here that the great Physicist James Maxwell proved that Einstein was wrong! I came to the conclusion that was a very difficult task for Maxwell to have done because he died in the same year Einstein was born.
Kate Bush sings several hundred digits of PI on her 2005 Aerial album. Pretty cool.
Currently roasting in the deepest part of hell.
One of my favorite days of the year!
The credit for the evil of Communism goes to Vladimir Lenin. He became essentially the God of the Soviet Union. They still have that bizarre monument built around his corpse in Moscow today. Another man I consider even more evil , Mohammed, is the ultimate mastermind for the evil in Iran we are currently dealing with.
Marxism killed far more people in far less time, than Islam. Karl Marx was a satinist. Marxism is straight up satinism. And everything that Lenin did was already written by Marx. “ Swept out of the way” means extermination.
Communism perhaps killed more people than Islam. Communism had the advantage of coming to maximum power during a time of the most people around to get killed. Islam was mostly defeated until all that oil that its infected members were sitting on breathed new life into it. Islam definitely has had more staying power than Communism.
The USA is half infected by Marxism already. 😡😡
I had a couple of pizza slices for lunch in honor of the day!
The question is why is there fertile soil for Marxism to take root in spite of the evil it has caused. As Kipling would have put it , why does the bandaged finger keep on returning to the flame?
Because the American Church left the Political field.
Yes indeed!
Happy Birthday...
GOAT, IMHO...
There are Democrat Christians out there. How come their church did not protect them ?
I think you need a few more pies.
It is the basic irrarionality of sex and especially that of the female. They are more excited by base subhuman urges than anything higher or finer.
Thus the need for philosophy, religion and morality to tame man through his soul of reason, and for woman to be tamed by man. God knows women aren’t going to listen voluntarily to higher reasoning, if they are even capable of it.
Having said that. I do enjoy some indulgence of those base urges. Including the taming of the shrews.
You missed Pi day by almost 2 months. How did you stumble upon this thread?
