Happy Talk like a physicist day, Happy Pi day, and Happy birthday dear uncle Albert.
So how does one talk like a physicist? I mean its hard for me to say, because I'm a physicist (or was, or am, or was molded into who I am by physicists.) But one can certainly sing like a physicist! Here is a song from grad school:
Schrödinger's cat, is getting rather fat
He wants to play, must way for radon decay
Why is he trapped in that box (clap, clap, clap)
He would rather be alive than deadSchrödinger's kitten, stuck their sittin'
Stuck in a superposition, a quantum mechanical prison
Why is she trapped in that box (clap, clap, clap)
She would rather be alive and freeSchrödinger's feline, gives birth to nine
Radon mutated cats, quantum mechincal lab rats
I opened the box, I opened the box
Out popped...

No! Pi == 10. Exactly. (in base Pi) :)

"Think of them as little electron people..."
Okay. Does this mean I should start looking at the wave-collapse function as a low tide? Quantum packets as zip lock bags? Wave-particle duality as Cybil? The twin paradox as a Bud Light commercial?

3.14159265 is Approximately 1
Can we get some error bars on that
