Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays.

Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data

If there were no such thing as pi then circles would look something like this.

--------------------------------------------

This link is to an expression of the value of pi. It shows the digits and a voice in French says the numbers.

It is kind of creepy, but it really cool and geeky. It has cool links about Pi, which I really found to be cool.

This image is just the pi symbol

This link shows the history of the calculation of pi.

This image below looks like the car that was actually in the movie Rain Man.

 

"There were only 4,000 hardtops built back in 1949

They were an eight miles-a-gallon car

The power windows are electric/hydraulic

The hydraulic cylinder raises the window.

The power front seat operates the same way, with an electric motor and a hydraulic pump.

Judge Wapner.

People’s Court.

Mickey Mantle number seven.

Seven is a prime number.

If a circle of radius R is inscribed inside a square with side length 2R, then the area of the circle will be pi*R^2 and the area of the square will be (2R)^2. So the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square will be pi/4.

Pancakes on Wednesdays

Maple syrup and toothpicks. The Maple syrup definitely has to be there first.

MASH THIS

the toothpick was first used in the U.S. at the Union Oyster House.
The oldest restaurant in Boston, it opened in 1826. 

90% of the country's toothpick supply is produced in Maine.

Maine is the only State that has just one syllable in it’s name, Maine!

Perfect Numbers

A number is a perfect number if it is equal to the sum of all of
its positive divisors, excluding the number itself.

6 is the first perfect number because 6=1+2+3.

28=1+2+4+7+14   perfect

The next two perfect numbers are 496 and 8128.

496 Toothpicks

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.
