Nimoy and pie! Two delicious things that taste great...no wait, that's creepy.

In honor of Leonard Nimoy, who yesterday announced his retirement from acting, I offer you this link to the Tumblr site "Nimoy Sunset Pie." You know how the title sounds kind of crazy and surreal? The site does not disappoint! For example, we have:

If I could fill my brain with awesome things every day, they would all look like this. I'm trying to think of a way I could get this tramp-stamped on my person.

Also, now I'm hungry...and want to watch "Fringe."

So long, Leonard. You were the most talented and least crazy member of the original "Star Trek" cast, and I always loved you for it. That and you always knew how to fill out a blue velour shirt. Le rowr and prosper, my friend.

Thank you to Ruth for the link!

I don't understand it, but it tastes great

For those of you not tapped into the intricacies of the global math nerd calendar, today was Pi Day. Hundreds of people with advanced degrees and hundreds of other people who were just hungry gathered at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco to recite the digits of pi, sing pi songs, eat lots of pie and write pi haikus (Wouldn’t it have been more appropriate to write trios of 14-line sonnets because of the whole 3.14 thing? Or not. Nevermind. – Ed.)

Said Boy Math Nerd Luke Anderson in an article on bloomberg.com, “We few of us out there who are open with our love of math -- who are unabashed math lovers -- for us, this is the day where we get to let our hair down and be silly." As opposed to the other days when they have to scowl and use protractors and sit on hard chairs.

This year’s celebration also marked the 128th birthday of Albert Einstein, who rudely chose to remain on his own astral plane and not attend despite his ability to bend time and space.
