Happy Pi Day!

Interesting observation. However, (as per usual) makes me think of various things including old joke: Pie are round, cornbread are square. Also, military or aviation "time" never has those exact times. Plus, other countries even write the date differently, i.e. New Zealand writes today as 14/03/15.

Pi Day 2015: meet the man who invented π

Anglesey-born William Jones was the first person to use the Greek letter π for the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. But who was this little-known figure?

Interesting. I, too, have maintained links with Wales, although I spell it differently. Cardiff and other Welsh domiciles are indeed interesting to visit. ^_^

Best regards,
