Lawmaker Calls for Peace Talks Between Dead Guy and Guy in Coma

Well…sounds peaceful!

Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) is seeing his foreign policy credentials come under fire after calling for Middle East peace negotiations between deceased Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma since 2006.

Pitts’s remarks were included in a form letter his office sent to a constituent last month. His office blames a bureaucratic snafu, but Pitts’s Democratic opponent in the November election sees an opening.

We see an opening, too: in a local McDonald’s. (And it’s not for manager…)

A Palindrome is Born

In the news:

The U.S. Forest Service is considering explosives to move a bunch of frozen cows that died after getting stuck inside a cabin at 3,350 metres in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains.

Uncle John says:

Moo. Boom!

This has been another episode of “A Palindrome is Born.”

Borat Wins Again

Ohhhhhhh, dear:

Wo-wo-wee-wah! Kazakh athletes were left enraged after a parody of their national anthem from the spoof film “Borat” was played for a gold medallist at a competition in Kuwait.

Mariya Dmitriyenko won a gold medal in the 75 target event at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship in Kuwait, when the offending anthem was played. Instead of hearing “My Kazakhstan”, (you can listen to a excerpt here), she was forced to endure a song that mocked her country.

Aww. She stood through the whole song! Probably wondering what the hoo-yah was going on!

Mqny thanks to BRI fan Joshua for the tip!

Kicks With Kickstarter

This is pretty hilarious. It could be a joke – but still hilarious. (Click pic to enlarge.)

Hi, my name is Eric Moneypenny.  I would like to raise money to buy Kickstarter.  WorthOfWeb.com estimates Kickstarter’s worth at 18.6 million dollars.  Therefore, I estimate that I will need at least 19,000,000 to make this happen.

We told you about Kickstarter some months ago in this post.

Via.

Scientists: Woman = Male Brain Fart

The mere presence of a woman can actually make a man stupid:

Researchers have begun to explore the cognitive impairment that men experience before and after interacting with women.

More:

A more recent study suggests that this cognitive impairment takes hold even when men simply anticipate interacting with a woman who they know very little about.

Uncle John has just stood up to make a vigorous defense of his gender. And…here comes Mrs. Uncle John. Uncle John has just started making funny shapes with his fingers and giggling…

3.14 is International Pi Day!

Now don’t get irrational on us!

Today marks the mathematically quirky Pi Day, celebrated because the month and day of today’s date — 3/14 — correspond to the first three digits of pi: 3.14. Observed in science and math communities around the world, Pi Day has become an annual event that is recognized on universities campuses, in particular.

Where did Pi Day come from?

Larry Shaw created Pi Day in 1988. The holiday was celebrated at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where Shaw worked as a physicist, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, then consuming fruit pies. The Exploratorium continues to hold Pi Day celebrations.

What a day! Thank you Larry Shaw, the Prince of Pi!

Is he giving us the finger? Never mind…let’s celebrate Pi Day!

• Hey, how’s that Pi taste?

Pi Lip Tattoo

• We’ve never heard of this Mazda model before:

• American Pi: Uno-dos-tres…catorce!

• It’s Pi Throw Day in Alberta:

  • Take the pie in the face for FREE!
  • Buy a real pie for $π³ (about $31).
  • Redirect the pie to the person who first sent it to you or to a third party for $10.
  • Choose not to participate as Pi Throw is a voluntary charity event.

That made us hungry!

• “This experiment attempts to convert the first 10,000 digits of pi into a musical sequence.” It is blowing our minds. (h/t)

•  Happy Birthday, Albert Einstein!

• It’s also the birthday of Raoul Lufbery! He was a PIlot!

And François Morel! A PIanist!

And Waclaw Sierpinski! A mathematician! What?

• Don’t you need a Pi Opener today?

• Here’s a song by Pink Floyd – the band that starts with Pi!

Hey, “Pigs” starts with Pi, too! Holy cow!

• What do you do when you have a very mysterious and extra dangerous math problem that needs solving?

You call this guy:

• And now we’ve tortured you enough. Well not quite:

Q: What did the the bad mathematician say?
A: A = Pi • rrrrr2

That’s because he was a…

Goodpi, everybody! Happy Pi Day!
