Happy Pi Day 351
Jonathan writes "Today, the 14th of March, is Pi Day 2008. Pi Day is internationally celebrated in honor of the mathematical constant "Pi," who's actual value will — now and forever — remain unknown. NeoSmart Technologies has a run-down on the history of Pi, Pi Day, and the significance of Pi and other such "magical numbers" to science and technology. 'Pi isn't just a number that you can use to calculate circle-related mathematics, it's a symbol of something by far greater. Pi is one of many "magic" numbers that are found everywhere — if you know where to look. These magic numbers can't be explained, they just are. And if you use them right, they make it a lot easier to do a lot of really complicated things... In a way, they're a testimony to technology and computers (or vice-versa, depending on how you look at it).'"

grammar day? (Score:4, Funny)
When can we have grammar day? First, it is "whose," as possessive pronouns never use apostrophes. Second, it is not even "whose" because Pi isn't a person.

Grammar has always been a weak-point (no hyphen needed) of mine, so it would have been nice if you had finished your thought (assuming your actual goal was NOT just to point out (split infinitive, but that's forgiveable these days)someone else's mistake so you could look clever without actually being helpful).
Don't make me go all George Costanza and have to tell you who (whom: a tricky case this time) the jerk store just ran out of... (Even sentences which end in ellipsis dots need periods!)
