Pi Approximation Day
A little bigger
I'm bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
I've circumscribed too much
I messed it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my precision
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
I've circumscribed too much
I'm not precise enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you say
""I don't think you are good enough""
Every minute
Of every waking hour I'm
Doing long division
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like an obsessive rational
I've circumscribed too much
I messed it up
Consider this
Three thirty nine and one-oh-eight
Consider this
Three thousand nine twenty seven
And twelve fifty
What if all these rationals
Are converging around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I saw you rounding
I thought that I heard you say
""I think we've got it good enough""
Three point one four three
Three point one four three
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my precision
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
I've circumscribed too much
I'm not precise enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you say
""I don't think you are good enough""
Three point one four two
Eight five seven one
Three point one four three
One four three
One four three
Three

Ratcatcher's Day
When : July 22
Ratcatcher's Day commemorates the Pied Piper of Hamelin, the most infamous of Ratcatchers.
One of the most well known German folklores is the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The town of Hamelin, Germany was infested by rats. The mayor promised to handsomely pay the Pied Piper, if he rid the town of rats. The Pied Piper played his flute. Lured by the magical music, all of the rats left town, and followed him. He played his music all the way down to the river. He waded into the river. The rats followed him and drowned. The mayor refused to pay him. So, one night when the townspeople were asleep, the Pied Piper played his music again. This time, the children of the town followed him all the way into a cave. Some versions for the legend vary here. In one version, th e Pied Piper kept them there until he was paid by the town for his services. In most versions, the children were never to be seen again.
How many Rats were lured to the River? Estimates are upwards of a million!
If you see a Ratcatcher today, wish them Happy Ratcatcher's Day!
