This Saturday is Pi day.

π = 3.141592653.....

3/14/15, 9:26:53 am/pm

This is the only time this will ever occur in the history of ever. Is anybody else making a beer on or for the occasion?

my honey brown will be ready to keg.
may save it for the next 3/14/15 in 2115:rockin:
and it happens every 100 years.
 
Maybe brewing a Barleywine "Enjoy on Euler-day" 2/7/18 (e=2.71828182...).

If I had a daughter she could have been named "ln" (el-en).

Well played.

In my high school precalc class we had a guy that would say "lin" when reading equations etc out loud, instead of "el en" or "natural log". By the end of the year we even caught the teacher saying it once in a while, it was pretty funny.

Excellent, nice slip! :mug:
Isn't it strange how those events stick with you? And they're still funny after all those years. We had a language teacher who hid the fact, almost to the very end of that year, that she could not pronounce "w" at the end of a word. Such as in "news". She would put an "l" in there, like "nu:lz". She was young and she was cute, that was important then.

I actually had to look up the origin of how e came about. I remember Euler was involved, but why e is the magic number it is, must have totally passed me by at the time. As well as it being an important base in probability and statistics, of all things.

Magical indeed. Since I got out of science (and math) the use for e has been minimal, leaving it as a sheer curiosity. Wikipedia was very refreshing to give the number meaning again. It's "irrational" too.

Jason beat me to it, it happened 100 years ago, will happen again in 100 years (the abbreviation of 1915, 2015, 2115 is required to make this numerical sequence happen)

Now, in 3/14/1592 at 6:53:58, THAT was once in history - unless you want to go BCE (when they didn't actually recon the calendar the same)
 
My brother is getting married on Pi Day. They put off the wedding for several years in order to be married on that date. No cake. There will be wedding Pi-e. Yes they are super nerds.
