You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

I'll be over here eyerolling about the "hotness" of Africa.

I'm all for anything that offers the slightest hope of Paris Hilton travelling there and presenting the appearance of emaciated weakness to large predators.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

But if you only enter (for example) the circumference, it tells you the diameter is zero and both calculated and rounded pi are infinity.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's an unbelievably badly coded page, in both mathy and java terms.

Paul's Page of Pi has a few different ways to calculate the extra digits.

This page lists the first few thousand of them.

My middle school had Pi written on the walls of one stairwell (this was a math/science magnet program, and the stairwell in question led to the computer lab), and so I managed to memorize the first 10-ish digits purely by osmosis. (3.1415926535897...)

Yeah, but if she gets out alive she'll just ruin some poor wee critter's life by bringing it back as her latest living handbag.

Man, I wanted one of those so bad when I was a tot. Much as I loved the good Dr., that book was my favoritest.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The Max costume wouldn't be too hard to put together. A white fleece jammies and a little hat thingie with big ears.

ETA: Why can't I spell today???

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My ex-boyfriend was planning on making a Max costume for this Halloween. He could totally do it, too. Sew the costume, I mean, not pull off the look.

I hears Paris' new song yesterday, and I said, "That's not a bad song." Hubby said: "With that much money, she'd better be able to find somebody to get her a decent song."

Her voice was no more annoying than any other anorexic bleached-blonde singer out there making money.

Lion cubs, while cute, do grow up eventually. Thus setting the stage for a show I'd much rather see than Siegfried & Roy's.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hmm. Plus the big fluffy tail.

Ha! The look is hard to pull off once you can raise your arms above your head.

Hey, msbelle, if your profile email works I want to try sending a picture to you.
