That "News" Thread

[RJ]

RJ failed.

[Kenji]

RJ failed.

Curses. Did you not act bad enough?

[superluser]

RJ failed.

I thought I should be unhappy about this, but that smiley makes me think otherwise.  Help!  RJ, what emotions should I be having?

[RJ]

The whole report is on my dA journal.

And I really do think this emoticon is appropriate: 

[TheGreyRonin]

*hands RJ a nice, fresh habanero cheesecake* Congratulations and/or sympathies on your victory/failure!

[Faerie Alex]

Note to llearch: My sig is NOT Wikipedia.

But is it the internets?

I suppose if one is a mod, then they could use the link there to edit Bill's sig?

Hey, if he's going to annoy me, it might as well be convenient.

I'll give you 3 guesses what the 14th is. In fact, I'll give you 3.14159265 guesses....

I do believe that there's a rounding error here.

π=3.1415926539793238, so that rounds to 3.141593.

[King Of Hearts]

Its Pi-day.

Really? I see no rounding error....

[Gabi]

Neither do I, and the long version was also rounded.

[superluser]

π=3.1415926539793238,

Eep.  My memory is going
π=3.141592653589793238

And yes, I see what you did there.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*waves hand* These are not the digits you're looking for. There's nothing to see here. Move along.

*grin*

[superluser]

Say, any chance of getting e day next February 7?  I can think of two options for the karma:

2.7:
[1828] [1828]

2.7:

what day the 14th is? um... *fails under pressure* white day?

Fortunate it is that I neither live in Japan not did I receive any chocolate from a girl on valentines day.

[Ryudo Lee]

It's Pi day and should have been observed at 1:59 today.  Get it?  3/14 1:59?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

1:59:26, yes.

I'd ask whose timezone, but, of course, it should be GMT. Just because I happen to live there.... :-]

[Reese Tora]

I would have to be very unobservant to not noice the discussion of Pi day above my own post, wouldn't I?

Fortunately, I have ~15 minutes left to prepare to celebrate, in my time zone.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

... unless you're waiting for 16:33:05, you're pretty much done...

[Vidar]

The pi-occasion has already passed in my region. No one celebrated, or Even mentioned it. We are so superficial. 

[Reese Tora]

... unless you're waiting for 16:33:05, you're pretty much done...

Nah, I am an egocentric Californian who believes that the interent revolves around his state becasue most server clocks seem to be set to PST.  At the time, it was about 15 minutes off from 1:59pm my time.  Of course, I completely forgot about it within the 15 minutes since posting that.  I guess I will have to wait for July 22nd to approximately celebrate Pi.

[Cogidubnus]

We had a little pi-day celebration in precalculus today. We answered questions about pi for a prize slinky, and had an art contest to see who could draw the best representation of pi. The winner, of course, received some pie.

[Miaka]

so wouldn't it be best on March 14, 2015, at 9:26?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

no, because that's 2.01503140926.

On the other hand, I don't think I'll wait for the ninth of May, 3141, at 2:06:53...

[Faerie Alex]

Or technically, it was on March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58.

We celebrated pi day at school by doing a project. But then we got pizza...pie (I guess).

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Or technically, it was on March 14, 1592 at 6:53:58.

6:53:59, actually. Give or take a tenth of a second. :-)

[Zedd]

RED LETTERS ARE IMPORTANT. MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ THEM BEFORE PRESSING "POST".

God? Or maybe the ol' mighty box

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Nope.

[xHaZxMaTx]

I don't see any questions being asked...
