une bien belle histoire ! en visite chez des amis, une pie est venue nous rendre visite ; tombée du nid , elle a été nourrie par l'homme au point qu'elle est domestiquée ; pas farouche , c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire, alors qu'elle ne m'avait jamais vue, elle est venue se poser sur mon épaule , picorant mon oreille et mes cheveux...adorable , non ?
Joker: I just love Pie day!
Calculator: You idiots! That’s not what Pi is about! Pi Day is a celebration of the mathmatical constant, Pi. Pi Day is observed on March 14 seeing as 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of...

The fun starts on the way up with the PI. One of the world’s lightest glider, rucksack and harness could weigh as little as 3.14 kg. This multitalented wonder takes in the whole scene from “Hike&Fly Pleasure” to “Mountain Intense”.
Stroll up a mountain with some friends for an evening flight, soar at sundown and glide down to the valley as the light fades. Or takeoff from a remote peak for some extended thermaling. This is what you can do in the PI’s lower weight range. Good climbing qualities and notable performance makes this possible.
The climb up has already been a genuine challenge. Minimal equipment weight and maximum fun on the way down is the name of the game here. In its upper weight range the small area PI means dynamic flying fun and comfortable agile handling. Alpine soaring and thermaling in spectacular scenery completes this kind of touring experience.
The PI reveals its full potential as part of the right package. The new ADVANCE EASINESS light reversible harness gives you the best weight/comfort compromise for Hike & Fly Pleasure. On the other hand the Mountain Intense option can be put together with minimal equipment consisting of a PIPACK, Soft Links and an ultralight harness – weighing in from only 3.14 kg.

La pie bavarde (Pica pica), est l'une des grandes espèces de corvidés parmi les plus répandues en Europe et dans une grande partie de l'Asie.
Elle arbore un plumage noir sur le dessus du corps, au niveau de la tête, de la poitrine et de la partie sous-caudale, et blanc au niveau du ventre, des flancs, des rémiges primaires et à la base des ailes. Le plumage noir montre des reflets métalliques, bleuâtres sur les ailes, violacés sur le corps et la tête, et verdâtres sur la queue, dus à une iridescence des plumes. Le bec est noir, de même que les pattes et l'iris des yeux.
Cet oiseau d'assez grande taille (de 44 à 56 cm de longueur8) est doté d'une longue queue (de 20 à 30 cm). L'envergure varie de 52 à 60 cm et le poids de 190 à 250 g. Le mâle est légèrement plus grand que la femelle, mais il n'existe pas de réel dimorphisme sexuel chez cette espèce. La coloration des ailes peut donner une indication de l'âge de l'individu.
Pi Day March 14 3.14
Pi Day celebrates the pi symbol (π) and its importance to mathematics. The symbol is a Greek letter, and it is used in mathematics to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The first digits of this ratio are 3.14159, and the number continues infinitely without pattern. It has been calculated to over one trillion digits after the decimal point. Most calculations only need the first few digits. Even the spherical volume of the whole universe can be calculated by using just 39 digits after the decimal point. The symbol "π" was first used in 1706 by William Jones. It gained in popularity after being used by Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler in 1737. The first large and official celebration of the day took place at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988. It was organized by Larry Shaw, a physicist at the Exploratorium. At the inaugural event, people marched around a circular space and ate fruit pies. In 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution supporting Pi Day.
How to Observe
Pi Day can be celebrated in a few ways:
Eat some pie—stop at a restaurant or bakery, or make your own.
Eat some pizza—some pizzerias offer discounts on Pi Day
Memorize as many digits of π as you can. You can start by learning the first 10,000 digits. Quiz yourself or challenge your friends to see who can learn the most.
Or, you can use the fractional representation of 22/7. That can work if your equation has fractions or multiples of 22 or 7 as some of the numbers.
Here, Private Investigator Sam Shoegum looks for Pi, but I think he's going to be surprised by a different kind of Pie!

I especially love endless pi if it has a streusel topping. But you know what this image is missing? A banana peel. Probably because I took this photo in New Jersey and not in Massachusetts. Jersey obviously doesn't have a banana peel problem . . . not that Jersey is sans problems mind you. Anyways, I took this image at the Liberty Science Museum in Jersey over the weekend. Took my 13 year old son to see the Rubik's Cube exhibit that's currently there. I have to brag for a moment; my son can solve a Rubik's Cube in under 20 seconds. You know what I can solve in under 20 seconds? What pair of socks I want to wear for the day. Btw, the socks I'm wearing in this photo have unicorns farting rainbows on them; proud to say it took me 13 seconds to make that decision. Feeling pretty smug right about now. :-)
