And transfer our liquids with funnels
So, why is it so
That in order to row,
We must mount our oarlocks on gunwales?

Thanks for hangin'!

International Day of Mathematic - Pi Day and How Pi helps NASA Explore New Planets
Pi Day is celebrated every year on March 14th, which is also known as 3/14 in the American date system. It is a day when mathematicians and scientists around the world celebrate the mathematical constant π (Pi), which is used to denote the ratio between a circle’s circumference and its diameter. The approximate value of Pi is 3.14, which is why March 14th is celebrated as Pi Day.
