      Pi Day!

      March 14th, 2007 by mike d. in Geekdom, Features

      Pi Day!

      March 14th (3/14) is, of course, Pi Day (3.14… get it?). so this made me wonder what other days are out there. Let’s take a looksie:

      January 2nd - Apery’s Constant Day
      January 3rd - Plastic Constant Day
      January 4th - Porter’s Constant Day
      January 5th - Lieb’s Square Ice Constant Day
      January 6th - Golden Ratio Day
      January 9th - Brun’s Constant For Twin Prime Day
      January 13th - Viswanath’s Constant Day
      January 18th - Khinchin-Levy Constant Day
      February 5th - Feigenbaum’s Alpha Constant Day
      February 7th - e Day (Napier’s Constant)
      February 8th - Fransen-Robineson Constant Day
      April 6th - Feigenbaum’s Delta Constant Day
      May 5th - Nuclear Magnaton times 10^27 Day
      May 6th - Stefan-Boltzmann Constant times 10^8 Day
      June 2nd - Avogadro’s Number divided by 10^23rd Day
      June 6th - Planck’s Constant times 10^34 Day
      August 8th - Electric Permittivity of Free Space times 10^12 Constant Day
      August 9th - Coulomb’s Constant divided by 10^9th Day
      December 10th(^3) - Molar Mass of Carbon 12 Day

      Some might disapprove of my decision to include either one or two digits for the ten’s and hundreth’s place holders. Example: 4.3 or 4.03 could both be taken as April 3rd.

      My personal favorite might be Nuclear Magnaton times 10^27 Day.

      Queens, Names, and Beauty

      March 14th, 2007 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

      currently eating: pineapple.

      Sander asked an interesting question yesterday: What is Queen Elizabeth’s last name?

      So we did some research, and I don’t think she HAS one. Unless it’s “of England.” In fact, none of the Royalty of England seem to have last names. Does anyone have any insight on this?

      Also, Jesse found this:
      What is beauty?
