Last modified: 12 Mar 2016, 16:37:53 UTC Observation: The first six digits of Pi are 3.14159. If you round up one place you get 3.1416. That is Monday! 3/14/16. So we must all celebrated rounded pi day. Pies are round so it seem appropriate. Happy Rounded Pi Day! Hmm. Pizza Pies are very round but you don't have to be aware of PI to slice it. Why use decimal system when Sumerian and Babylonian mathematics was based on a sexegesimal, or base 60, numeric system, which could be counted physically using the twelve knuckles on one hand the five fingers on the other hand. It's very easy to do in trading and in the middle east they still use it. ID: 1771197 ·

No, not my birthday, that other all-important event that comes before birth. About nine months before. You may now all tell me "TMI!"

Police Joke Nets at Least 1 Drug Arrest The joke has shown up on some police department Facebook pages: Anyone in possession of methamphetamine or other illegal drugs should stop by the police station for testing because the drugs might somehow contain Ebola. In Granite Shoals, Texas, one such post, labeled a "Breaking News Alert" in block letters, was shared thousands of times. It even netted an arrest, which the local police department then reported on its Facebook page. ID: 1774917 ·
