Why Pi?
Why doesn't the circumference of a circle come out even? Is the unit we call on inch to small, or maybe too big? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? I do but then I want things to be perfect.
thanks for your kind words and for visiting my blog! ...so i appeared under a "felt water bottle cover" search...pretty amusing. anyway, i'm glad you like it, it's great to get feedback.
simply olive, 'twas a pleasure. Isn't Google a kick in the head? heehee. Thanks for your knitting blog. Inspirational for this slacker.
Meribeth, so right, plus we must never forget the fact that everything in nature is curved even when it looks perfectly FLAT! I blame Newton. ;0) And thanks for the heads up on that quote. I thought maybe Dickens? lol He was so droll.
Hi Carrie! Thanks for your comment. It was a little bit of a trick rant.
That silly Miss Gretchen is fine, once she revealed her location to me after a trip to the Bayside nearly put her out of reach - under a car seat.
But Pi, that miserable, unequal ratio of a circle's circumference to the square of it's radius, is not. I really fear that Pi, being an enigma within a conundrum shrouded in mystery, will put many a future student off math as a life career. ;o)
it's because pi are square and a circle is round maybe?
ReplyDeleteWell Duh woman.. it's a ratio. I thought you knew that. What's this inch thang?
ReplyDeleteA friend who knits is a friend in need. LOL!
Kooky, you win the chocolate chip kookie!
ReplyDeleteWhat was I thinking?
"Ok, Everyone back to their knitting!" (Famous quote from somewhere that completely escapes me. So much is these days, no surprise!)

The quote is from Harry Potter. Love those books...
ReplyDeletePi, an infinate and ever adapting fudge factor, which should explain why nothing in nature is perfectly round. Perfection in imperfection!

Sorry you're having trouble with Pi =/ Perhaps it will block out?
