National Pi Day: March 14

For a love I would sacrifice my sanity, sleep and whole lifetime dedicated efforts; heartache won in the meantime from cradle to rubout life; you are innocent not to requite ingenious angel. ____________________________________________________________ Pilish is an extraordinary form of constrained writing that straddles the boundary between language and mathematics. Pilish literature is written in such a way that the number of letters in each successive word corresponds to the digits of pi, beginning with the number ‘3’, then followed by the successive decimal places of pi. The first calculation of pi was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world. See my example above mirroring the first 32 digits, up to the first "0".
