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. http://www.utm.edu/research/primes/ 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. 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!
________________________________________________ This link is a history of baseball cards.
Mickey Mantle hit 536 Home Runs, 536! Home Runs. 18 World Series home runs Home runs. He had batting average of .298, .257 in the World Series -------------------------------------------------------------- Are you taking any prescription medications? Perfect Numbers A number is a perfect number if it is equal to the sum of all of 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
Counting Cards --------------------------------------------------------------- Permutations, and combinations ------------------------------------------------------------- Who is on first? What is the name of the Player on second base. Second Base Chicago Cubs World Series Champions 1908

A litttle late, but still apropos (since my kids are still eating Peeps...)
the Easter Federalist
Our unalterable resolution would be to be free. They have attempted to subdue us by force, but God be praised! in vain. Their arts may be more dangerous then their arms. Let us then ... under God trust our cause to our swords." --Samuel Adams
EASTER MEDITATIONS
"The rescue of drowning men is ... a duty worth dying for, but not worth living for. It seems to me that all political duties (among which I include military duties) are of this kind. A man may have to die for our country: but no man must, in any exclusive sense, live for his country. He who surrenders himself without reservation to the temporal claims of a nation, or a party, or a class is rendering to Caesar that which, of all things, most emphatically belongs to God: himself." --C.S. Lewis
"You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing is worth dying for, when did this begin...? ...Should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots of Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain!" --Ronald Reagan
OK, who ordered the Short Stack?
Thanks for the update on Beth. Please pass on our wishes for her speedy return and the speedy recovery of her husband. I know a little about knees and surgery.
Here's your waffles, but grab 'em quick...
The CPSC has recalled these waffle irons.
Something about Michael Eisner and Belgium? I dunno...
And thank you for your service to our country.
