Happy Pi Day!

That’s today, March 14 (3/14 in American date notation) — only two decimal places, but any excuse for a party, we say. How are you celebrating?

    Happy Pi Day!!!! :arrow: :!: Did you guys see Google’s homepage? On Friday all the math teachers in my grade did celebrations for pie. We ate one of those cookie-cake things, which I don’t really get, but I’m not one to complain about free cookie-cake things!

  9. mason: It’s p-i, not p-i-e. National Pie Day, as proclaimed by the American Pie Council, was on January 23.

    Of course, bookgirl_me thinks every holiday should be redefined to focus on pie: https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=1538#comment-254980.

      The preamble:

      We the people (of the United States), in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this constitution for the United State of America.

      The balcony scene (hoo boy, it’s been a while…)

      Romeo: Oh, he jests at scars that never felt a wound.

      Juliet appears and such.

      But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

      Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is but sick and pale with grief. That thou – her maid – art far more fair than she- be not her maid, for she is envious.

      Her vestal livery is but sick and green, and none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!

      It is my lady. O, it is my love. O, that she knew she were!

      She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her eye discourses- I will answer it! … I am too bold, ’tis not to me she speaks.

      Two of the fairest stars in all the heavens, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres until they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were not night.

      See how she rests her cheek upon that hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand; that I might touch that cheek!

      Juliet: Ay me!

      Romeo: She speaks! I can’t remember my lines anymore!

      … And that’s the furthest I can go.

      I like memorising things… Those are the only major ones I know; that and the 189 digits of pi. I should work on some more stuff…

        All I remember form R&J is:

        Juliet: Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father, refuse thy name. Or, if though wilt not, I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

        And that’s probably all botched. :razz:

        I once memorized most of the first chapter of Sorcerer’s Stone. Up to somewhere in the Minerva/Dumbledore conversation, about the time that Hagrid showed up with Harry. Sadly, I’ve forgotten most of it….

          I memorized the first couple of pages of a chapter in Howl’s Moving Castle.. I think it was “In which Sophie finds further difficulty in leaving the castle” or some such.

          Actually, me and my sister memorized it together. It’s so fun to recite, and then argue about who’s got the right words. I’m usually in the right. :D

        Romeo: O speak again, bright angel! something something I forget this part….
        Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
        Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
        Juliet: What’s in a name? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O be some other name! That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and so would Romeo, were he not Romeo called, retain that dear perfection which he ow’st… and I forget my lines again.

        That’s as far as I remember. I’ve also memorized the Dagger speech from Macbeth, but I can’t remember much of that.

    9- You can’t make a pie without pi, so it fits… Just read that once quickly. It sort of makes sense, when read on a dark night with your eyes closed and sunglasses on.

    Memorizing things: Ironically, everything I memorize is german or latin. Lemme see… Od_et amo, Aurea prima (aetas), Galgenberg (from C. Morgenstern, it’s arrogant but …I like it), and a few lines of Faust (by Goethe, the prologue about the futility of studying). I’ve been trying to learn the first verse of ecce gratum but so far I keep forgetting lines.

    The common denominator is that they’re all very, very short, unlike pi.

    21- No way.

      I haven’t ever tried to memorize it either. Too lazy, mostly. *sigh* My old math teacher used to have a competition for whoever could recite the most numbers of pi by memory on Pi Day because she had a big, long poster wrapped around her room with the first 100 numbers of pi or something and she thought that since we had class in there every day we should all know a little. (I didn’t. I think I just knew 3.14. Ha.) A couple of my friends did pretty well, though.
