Today is Pi Day - 2011

Last year, when I published an entry tribute to Day Pi I highlighted the source celebration in a beautiful poster and the ability to send personalized cards alluding that even included a song. Today

prefer to show other curiosities, like the watch that can expand and then a beautiful poem Wislawa Szymborska of , Polish poet and essayist, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1996 and the musical interpretation of Pi made Michael John Blake.

Just enjoy them ...

Worthy of admiration is the number pi: three point fourteen
.
All the following figures are also initial fifteen
ninety-two it never ends. Leaves no cover
sixty-five thirty-five with the look,
eighty-nine
with calculations sixty-nine with imagination, and even
thirty and two thirty-eight with a joke or compared
forty-six with nothing
twenty-six forty-three in the world.
The longest snake on earth after many meters is over.
did the same thing but after a while snakes fables.
The troupe of figures is the number Pi
does not stop at the edge of the blade,
is able to continue around the table, air,
the wall, the leaf of a tree, a nest, clouds, and and to the sky,
throughout the swelling and celestial incommensurability.
Oh, how short, frankly bobtail is Comet
Any space is curved faint glimmer of a star! And here
two thirty-one fifty-three
nineteen my phone number the number of your shoes
year 1963 sixth floor the number of inhabitants
sixty-five cents
hip inches two fingers a charade and encrypted message, in which
Nightingale to go to France
and please stay calm and will
earth and sky,
but not the number Pi, or talk thereof, will remain
stop a five in fairly good condition, and a
eight, but never one anyone
and seven will never be the last, and by putting
hurry, yes, sticking fast to eternity
lazy to continue.

(Translation Marrodán Carlos Casas )
