HAPPY PI Day!
« on: March 15, 2007, 12:32:48 AM »
March 14 is Pythagoras Day 3.1415 Wow! 3-4-5 is the Pythagorean Triplet

HAPPY PYTHAGORAS DAY

Pi (π) is a Greek letter phonetically equivalent to the English "p". Pi is also the geometric symbol used to designate the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. Oddly pi contains the Pythagorean triplet, 3-4-5 right at the very start of this most important and popular constant.

Pi = 3.14159... Pi starts with 3_4_5 which is the Pythagorean Triplet, the smallest possible triplet that represents the Pythagorean triangle. Recall from high school the Pythagorean Theorem, if two sides of a right triangle are 3 and 4 respectfully then the hypotenuse will be 5. Though the 3-4-5 triplet at the very start of pi is very significant the addition of other "oddities" as shown on Document A conclusively demonstrates intelligent manipulation of this geometric constant.

God, the Master Mathematician enumerated pi so that the Pythagorean triplet will be noticed. Since God intentionally put the Pythagorean triplet right at the start of pi, lets us also acknowledge Pythagoras with a day of celebration. Pythagoras made many experimental and theoretical scientific contributions that made our modern world possible so this is an additional reason to honor this extraordinary man! Due to the Pythagorean triplet starting in pi I believe it is appropriate for Pythagoras Day and Pi Day to be celebrated on the same day, on March fourteen.

I wish you a very happy 3-14 day. At exactly 3:45 take a spin and make the sign of the 3-4-5 triangle and you will be initiated into the mysteries. This off course initiates you only as a step “314” neophyte. Hey! You can’t expect anything more than that with such a simple ritual!

Yeah, but it figures that Knutty would bring us a novel that has a plagiarism scandal attached.
