Republicans vote against Pi Day. WHy?

vanity

[nothingnew]

Because it's stupid?

[Girlene]

Exactly.

Back in the Dark Ages - i.e. the early 60's - I used to play Euchre. I've long forgotten how to play.

Of course, there is always Spades, where I often shot the moon with great delight.

Now, if I could just find a couple of players!

[FredZarguna]

This is HUGH and SERIES!

The Democratic-Republican Party failed to recognize 2/7/1828 and look what happened to them.

[Steve_Seattle]

Even though it’s frivolous, some libs will claim this as further proof that Republicans are “anti-science” or “anti-math.”

[bgill]

Probably due to some bozo tacking on pork.

I celebrated by having a piece of homemade apple PIe at 9:26.53.

[Colonel_Flagg]

The morons at the Ron Paul forum apparently haven’t heard.

Some of them haven't heard about the Lindbergh baby.

[Daffynition]

It's irrational. *Everyone* likes PI.......by golly.....it's American as.....!

[Steve_Seattle]

"3.1416 IS an acceptable optimization good for most all calculations except for moon shots."

I thought that pi was normally rounded to 3.1416 rather than 3.1415. Isn't the next decimal a 9, i.e., 3.14159?

[bigbob]

What a buncha squares...

[Kickass Conservative]

Of course they Voted against it, they misspelled PIE in the Bill’s Title. Duh...

Make mine Banana Cream unless they have a Key Lime Pie to die for.

[OKSooner]

Yes, 3.14159... or 3.1416.

By the way, pi are NOT squared, CORNBREAD are square.

Pi are round.

[faithhopecharity]

Republicans (to their great political disadvantage) try to be rational beings.
Pi is an irrational number.

There’s your answer.

[WKUHilltopper]

Exactly.

[Beowulf9]

Don’t say that! The Dems will be makin’ up quote from Republicans like, ‘let them eat cake’!

[NoCmpromiz]

I thought that pi was normally rounded to 3.1416..

Yes it is. Four decimal resolution is more than adequate for most applications other than things like the mentioned and presently non-existent moon shot things.. ;-)

Isn't the next decimal a 9, i.e., 3.14159?

Yes it is.

3.141592653.... (non repeating to infinity.. ;-)

On another note since you 'brought up' Seattle, it seems that the manufacturers of Bertha should have used a higher precision calculator. Three significant digits (aka slide rule accuracy) is a tad wanting in the manufacture of really BIG projects.. ;-)

[Ace's Dad]

Ace, Ace’s Dad, Ace’s Sister, and Ace’s Nephew had a rousing Eucre game today, with a complete tie all around! It’s a Michigan thing, I think!

[NoCmpromiz]

LOL..

I haven’t played Euchre since high school back in Ohio.

The earth’s crust was still elastic back then.. ;-)

[smokingfrog]

Everybody wants some pi.
