Happy Pi Day! (If I'd been on the ball I would have made this update at 1:59, but consider this an exercise... a Pi-lates exercise.) Those who remember how we celebrated Pi Day last year will recognize the modified front page; newer readers, make sure to take a look.


And now, a survey of great pi moments in 5MV history....

[*]T'Pol gets pi-etic[*]The dark secret of the Sleapers' final dimension[*]And my all-time favourite pi moment in both Trek and 5MV, "Wolf in the Fold".[/list]Wait, that's it? There have only been three? (Well, if you add a smidge for all the pie moments, there have been 3.1415...) This must be rectified! Have a slice of The Top 10 Pi Day Activities of Enterprise Characters.


Finally, to round off the festivities in style, here's a classic Peanuts pi joke. A kid named 5 has just moved into the neighbourhood -- his Dad changed the whole family's names to numbers as a protest against the growing dehumanization in society. (Their last name is 95742, with the accent on the 4.) Pondering this whole business, Linus and Charlie Brown have the following exchange....


Linus: If we all had numbers instead of names, what number do you think you'd like to have?

Charlie Brown: How about 3.1416?

Linus: I don't know... I have a feeling that every Tom, Dick and Harry would be called 3.1416!
