Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and 
seemingly useless data.

Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks.

We have links, lots of them.

From the Radixionary

 

Epitrochoid

Geometry: a plane curve generated by the motion of a fixed point on the radius or extension of the radius of a circle that rolls externally, without slipping, on a fixed circle. The epitrochoid is a generalization of the epicycloid.

 

 

Today's Pancakes Wednesday field trip will take us to Africa, London,  Texas, and a Geometry class.

 

Happy Birthday

George Foreman

"Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it."

 

The 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman is probably the most famous and most depicted of all heavyweight title bouts ever. One reason for this fascination might be that it was one of the most dramatic heavyweight bouts of all times.

The features of the two opponents couldn’t have been more different :

On the one side the patriotic Foreman who had waved the Star Spangled Banner after winning an Olympic Gold Medal in 1968. On the other side the inconvenient black hero Ali, who had enraged the White establishment with his claim for conscientious objector status and his conversion to Islam.

 

 

 

Happy Birthday 

Rod Stewart

 

"You are so beautiful to me."

Singer, songwriter. Born Roderick David Stewart on January 10, 1945, in London, England.

Once rock & roll's best interpretive singer as well as an accomplished songwriter, creating a raw combination of folk, rock, blues, and country that sounded like no other folk-rock or country-rock.

 

And in typical Pancakes on Wednesday form we  now segue into this obscurely related fact and feature.

 

How about a few Epitrochoids with your Pancakes?

 

 

 

I am an excellent driver

 

 

On this Day

1776 Thomas Paine published "Common Sense"

Published in 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The plain language that Paine used spoke to the common people of America and was the first work to openly ask for independence from Great Britain.

 

Would you like some "Texas Tea" with your Pancakes?

It's going pretty well. We downloaded the critical updates frm Windows yesterday.

As I always do every Wednesday, I want to urge everyone to be sure to keep the antii-virus software up-to-date. There's always something lurking out there.

We replaced a clothesline yesterday. The stringed one we had went down as I was washing my bedsheets.

May get some rain this weekend. Still looking at a potential ice storm in parts of Central and Northern Oklahoma.

Lord, we have many fine young men and women who are serving their country in these evil times. They are lonely, scared, cold, hot, sleep depraved, hungry and home sick. But they are strong Lord. They are strong in spirit, strong in patriotism and strong in You. Be their rock and their shield my Father.

Give them power over their enemies Lord. May the enemies of our country tremble before your soldiers and may they fear the wrath of Jehovah.

Father, I ask that you place the shield of your Spirit around our soldiers. I ask that you comfort them and guide them in their Crusade to rid the world of evil. Be their eyes and ears Lord and let no evil befall them. Grant our armed forces the power to capture or kill the enemy and return home to their loving families.

Lord, comfort the wounded. Take their pain away and replace it with Your grace. Hold them in Your arms and wipe their tears away. Talk with them and let them know that we all love them and are proud of them and support them. Let no word of doubt come to them from traitors in their own country.

And Father, take our honored dead into your bosom . . .Comfort them in their new duty assignments . . . Make them soldiers of the Lord God . . .And Lord, comfort the ones they leave behind.

I always think of pancakes on Tuesdays because in Britain traditional day for eating them is Shrove Tuesday before lent as in the olden days it was to get rid of the eggs and fat before lent.

[txradioguy]

PERFECT!!! That breakfast looks great. I need to eat something like that this morning!!!!

[snugs]

I love sausage with pancakes - other Brits think I am made as pancakes here are a teatime/dessert thing but then ours are different no sugar in mix or fat though some people may put a tablespoon of oil or butter in and much thinner.

Is a hotcake a pancake sounds a bit like a scotch pancake or drop sconce as we call them which are nearer your pancakes than what we call pancakes.
