I just saw these uglydolls in a store
(Newbury comics, a New England chain) for the
first time. Having seen them in person, now I
know why you love 'em! (They also had DC MINIMATES!!! Expect to see
the Man of Steel battling a certain
Decepticon cassette in the near future).
PI day holds a special place in my heart, it
also being my spirit journey formation
anniversary.
PS It also pleases me when a toy pic makes it
to Explore, because it probably knocked a
"wedding ring shadow making a
heart" or an HDR or a pregnant belly pic
to get in.
seen in a utata thread... I'm no
mathematician but this is the cleverest photo
ever to make me smile again and again.... so
Happy Pi Day to you too.... :)
Yes, Greefus' comment just killed me this
morning. Sure, you can get into explore with
an hdr preggers belly in black and white with
a slow motion water droplet, but it takes
REAL SKILL to get in toy shots in there. XD
but more importantly, it WAS pie day! a few
friends and i "invented" this
holiday 3 years ago. at first it was that you
eat nothing but pie. i started with some
fruit pie filling for breakfast, ate some
veggie pot pies for lunch, a pizza pie for
dinner and ended with some delicious banana
cream pie for dessert.
now it's more like you just eat some pie on
the day, but it was definitely delicious
yesterday!

Did any little Uglys hitch a ride out of the store with you? They are just way too much fun not to have at least one... dozen.
DC Minimates? The little super-poseable lego-minifig dudes? I can hardly wait!!!

INTRO:
A E F#m
A long, long time ago
Bm D F#m E
Long before the Super Bowl and things like lemonade
A E F#m
The Hellenic Republic was full of smarts
Bm D
And a question resting on the Grecian hearts
F#m D E
Was "What is the circumference of a circle?"
F#m Bm
But they were set on rational numbers
F#m Bm
And it ranks among their biggest blunders
D A Bm
They worked on it for years
D E
And confirmed one of their biggest fears
A E F#m Bm7 E
I can't be certain if they cried when irrationality was realized
A E F#m
But something deep within them died
D E7 A D A
the day they discovered pi.
E
They were thinking
CHORUS:
A D A E
Pi, pi, mathematical pi
A D A E
3 point 14 15 92
A D A E

F#m B7

F#m E7

VERSE:
A Bm
Well this kind of pie is different than most
D Bm
It hasn't got berries, ain't spread on toast
F#m E
And that's how it's always been
A E F#m
We keep extending its decimal places
Bm D
Pushing our computers through their paces
F#m E
But we'll never reach the end
F#m Bm
So why the fascination with
F#m Bm
A number whose end is just a myth
D A B7
Whence the adulation
D E7
For mental masturbation
A E F#m
It might have something to do with the stars
Bm D
To calculate distances from afar
A E F#m
But that's just a guess 'bout the way things are
D E7 A D A
Regarding the precision of pi
E7
I am pondering
CHORUS:
VERSE:
A Bm
Now I feel that I should mention
D Bm
Pi is applicable in any dimension
F#m E
At least as far as I know
A E F#m
If there were no Pi we'd be missing things
Bm D
Like marbles and mugs and balls of string
F#m B7 E7
And sports such as soccer and curling
F#m Bm
The orbs in their celestial paths
F#m Bm
Navigate along elliptical graphs
D A B7
Ellipses have pi in them too
D E7
Just one side of them has grew
A E F#m
You can see pi in most everything
Bm D
It's in Cornell's Electron Storage Ring
A E F#m
And also in slinkies and other springs
D E7 A D A
And that's why it's important to know pi
E
You should memorize
CHORUS:
OUTRO:
A Bm
Once one night I had a dream
D Bm
That pi was gone and I had to scream
F#m E
Cause all pi things had disappeared (pause)
A E F#m
Can you imagine a world like that
Bm D
Circles aren't round and spheres are flat
F#m B7 E7
It's the culmination of everything we've feared
F#m Bm
'Twas a nightmare of epic proportions
F#m Bm
One that gave me brain contortions
D A B7
Oh wait! I mean contusions
D E7
They put me in some institutions
A E F#m
But then I escaped and now I'm free
D E A D A E
To sing of the virtue of pi
