In the beginning, God created tea; then He got around to light, dark, and all that other stuff.

Never underestimate the restorative power of tea, a cookie, and a timely slap in the face.

"Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important."
— Lisa Hoffman

PianoManGidley on 2011-01-04 03:19:51
Pi, or pie? Well, most pies aren't terribly irrational...but they are naturally very important!

universalmom on 2012-02-22 00:13:03
And I sure do love them!

montyb on 2013-01-02 12:26:59
She forgot to mention non-repeating and non-terminating.

wvwoman on 2013-03-22 20:39:41
let's get back to that pie...i'm down for some blueberry!

Pi isn't a natural number. 1,2,3,4,5.....are the natural numbers

Barnabas on 2014-03-16 11:36:37
Non-terminating pie, Monty? I like the sound of that!

kb83 on 2014-10-16 06:13:26
pi, like love, is real, irrational, non-repeating, circular, and transcendental.

Good for you! Jason!! I'll have pumpkin. It's that time of year, and there's one in the fridge.

I'm hankering for some peach pie now.

Quizzical on 2015-03-25 13:04:47
Remind me again, what's that two letter word ending in "i"? The puzzle wasn't that difficult, but if you focused on that pi, it could have been tough, as it was for that 86% who are not reading our comments.

Kgun5 on 2015-06-17 09:14:09
Pi, like many transcendental numbers, is written into the fabric of the universe. Anyone that thinks that somewhat wondrous should read "Contact" by Carl Sagan.

Chocolate cream pie, anyone?

abra on 2015-09-20 06:45:40
Chocolate cream sounds good, or

LLapp on 2016-01-06 20:17:03
Now that's a cliffhanger of a comment. Chocolate cream or what?

abra on 2016-07-27 13:47:36
I wonder, but I have no idea.

Glad it's not really a dead language - we still have little bits like "quid pro quo" and the other phrases you remembered, gang, but it's too bad it isn't taught in school anymore. Do they even offer study of Greek and Latin word roots anymore?

I bounce quite well... of course being shaped like a ball is a tremendous help.

Followed by another fall, another bounce, until finally you roll along the floor and wind up in the corner covered in cat hair.

LLapp on 2014-11-17 08:06:53
Lately I've noticed this site has many quotes by Lord Byron, whom I'd never studied before. Reading the quotes and his Wiki bio, I've come to find him over-dramatic about everything, and I've said so in my comments. Then last week I attended a small school reunion hosted at a house on Byron Road, and then I went to see Tom Stoppard's play "Arcadia," which turned out to use Lord Byron as a pivotal offstage character. So LB, if you're reading this, go ahead and toy with me; I still think you need Prozac.
