Happy Pi Day

pi.jpg

Today is March 14th, or if you are a big numbers nerd, 3/14. If you are an even bigger numbers nerd you know that 3.14 is the first three digits of Pi. If you are the biggest numbers nerd you know today is “Pi Day.”

It is also “Steak and Blowjob Day!”

I am not making this up.

February 14th is Valentine’s Day, a holiday created for the ladies (which includes flowers, candy, and a romantic evening), so it is only fair that on March 14th a similar holiday be created for the guys (which includes steak and blowjobs).

Pi and blowjobs, two of the most elusive concepts ever to challenge, thrill, and mock man, both honored on the same day. What are the odds?

Some brief facts:

Pi is a mathematical constant discovered by the Greek mathematician Euclid. It represents the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter. It is also an irrational number, in that its decimal expansion never repeats and has no end.

Blowjobs were discovered by the Portuguese explorer Magellan, who was looking for a shortcut to shooting his load. Blowjobs are also irrational, in that I can never seem to get one.

In another delightful coincidence, 3/14 is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. This is doubly delightful when you consider Einstein loved the mathematical possibilities of Pi. It is triply delightful when you consider he loved getting blowjobs, like during the picture included here...

Albert Einstein

Happy Pi Day!
