Actually (and apologies in advance for being too geeky to let your incorrect description of Pi pass): Pi is an irrational number that continues infinitely - not without solution but - without repetition. Unless you meant that pi may never be a solution (a root) for a polynomial which has rational coefficients. Pi is a really an awesome number, only surpassed by the sexy Tau (the golden ratio) and the amazing Wau (yes I am pathetic :P)
Bah! Sadly this is not about March 14th but about the commemoration of the dissolution of the Lebanese Forces as a political party. My own interpretation is here: http://www.beirutntsc.blogspot.com/2012/03/credit-beirut-drive-by-shooting.html
There are 2 billboards here,one in the foreground, one in the background. One is for the political group- March 14 and one for the Lebanese Forces. The Lebanese Forces are still affiliated with March 14, ironically, Marada has the Pi symbol on their flag and yet they are not with March 14. As they say on facebook...."it's complicated."
Instead of hiding behind cutesy remarks to relay lame political statements, compromising the neutrality of your posts and alienating a segment of the population, you could have focused on the mounds of garbage surrounding the bases of these billboards. That would have been a subject of interest to all Lebanese from all political affiliations.
I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it.
Here in Lebanon, we just call it March 14th. Pi is an irrational number that continues infinitely with no solution…….hmmmm.

in a contest between googler and geek, geek wins. let's just call it literary license :)brb, gotta google Tau and Wau
DeleteAs cool as this post is (cool enough that I came to leave an appreciative comment), the foregoing comments make it all the cooler.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)

DeleteYou say I'm "hiding" and yet you post as "anonymous".
