pie

[42itous]

me: Do hamantaschen count as pies?
him: No, pies are round.
...(later in same conversation)...
him: I once made a persimmon pie. I made it in Revere.
me: I thought you were going to say you made it in reverse. From the top down.
him: I regurgitated it. I didn't know I had it in me.
(I succumb to a fit of giggles)
me: That was both delightful and disgusting.

And now, thanks to your userpic, I'm going to have Andy Goldsworthy nightmares.

Eww.

I got your Thing today, haven't listened to it yet. Thank you! :)

but... doesn't everyone say pie are squared?

I love you guys. ;-D

You can use hamantaschen to celebrate Pi-Thagoras Day, but not Pi Day. :)

And when is that?

[majordomo.livejournal.com]

It's pretty rare, and only getting more so.
I think the next two are April 5, 2027 and January 27, 2028.

(My theory is that it's a day where a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Choose a = 27, b = 36, and c = 45. Using c as the year and b as the month, we then have the 27th day of the 36th month of 2025 = Jan. 2028. Using a as the month, we have the 36th day of the 27th month of 2025 = Mar. 2027 + 36 days = April 5, 2027.)

Geek.

I wonder, if I put a note in my gcal to remind myself to make hamantaschen for Pythagoras Day, whether I'll get it...

*giggle*

OK, that's pretty funny.

irrelevant to this current post but -

why is titanium for geeks?

[42itous.livejournal.com]

The only other use I know of for titanium is for laptops. And I know at least two couples who have gotten titanium wedding bands because it's geeky! :)

[maru-mari.livejournal.com]

Titanium is used a lot for different things, I think. I find tungsten to be vaguely geeky - it's apparently the only transition metal that is used in jewelry making, and it has the highest melting point of *all* metals, second only to carbon in all elements.

plus it has a really high atomic number. :)

I guess - your answer why appealed to me because of who we are (science!), but your choice was different than mine was for that reason, so I'm seeing if you can sell me on it.

[42itous.livejournal.com]

I didn't know anything about tungsten, and now that I do I think I agree that it's even more geeky than titanium. :)

lol ok - thank you :)
