pi approximation day [OT]

[Klaus Major]

Hi Dar,

> Tuesday is pi approximation day (aka pi appreciation day).  I think 
> that is because some folks write July 22 as 22/7.

> In honor of this day, I plan to order 14" pizzas to enjoy with 
> friends.  For some pizzas I plan to arrange the pieces on a 
> rectangular cookie sheet in an alternating pattern to form an 
> rectangle about 7" by 22".  I will then badger friends into saying 
> "Oooh" and "Ah" before letting them eat.
>
> Illustrating this with a stack (in my losing struggle to make this 
> on-topic) seemed too much work.  However, those who want to ponder pi 
> on Tuesday might type this into the message box:
>
>     put pi & LF & 22/7
>
> Appreciate wonders both large and very small.

Could you please be so kind and explain this "wonder" to a person (or 
more ;-)
who is/are not able to start cheering right away, just becaues they 
lack a
deeper understanding of the glamour of maths ;-)

Thanks a lot in advance.
