True, but February 1971 was a heckuva month, and e has gotten a ton of
mileage (not to mention babes) out of that whole e=mc^2 gig.

But that was a different e.

Shhh! If you don't want to burn in hell with the prince of darkness

My cat is named after the ratio of a circles circumference to its
diameter. 3.14159.... etc and so you can't really say his name as it
goes on and on. Kind of like the artist formerly known as Prince and
now is Prince (or not), but i digress, we just call him PI for short.
I know he want to hear the whole name but I don't have the time.

What does this have to do with amateur astronomy ?

PI is my observing companion in the garden.
His favorite object.. the mice..(an interacting pair of galaxies that
looks like mice).
