[Tfug] Happy Pi Day everyone!

[erich]

     e = 2.7182818285.... should be celebrated too. Unfortunately, it does
not lend itself well to conventional calendar notation as Pi does.

     Perhaps we could say the 7th hour of Feb 18, but, then,
that's not very aesthetic.

                                                                  Erich
