    Pi, as well as Pi Day are Bogus! Contrived by simpletons that could not measure a damn radius.

    Tau Day is the real deal: 6-28 ! And it's almost here.

    Heresy! You speak in circles with forked tongue. You must be a witch.

    Besides, what am I suppose to do with all that pi?

    The 19th century sales practice of gingering involved placing a ginger salve or herb in a horse's rectum so their tail remained pert and ready for showmanship.

    India is the largest producer of milk in the world. That's probably because the cows are sacred and don't get killed and eaten.

    Bonus fact: The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well".

    The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder.

    Does it mean anything that the owner's initials are KKK? Maybe @Big Tiger can tell us. Did he learn to make little crosses with his Lego set?

    Newman doesn't have a first name (surprise). A common speculation is that his first name is “Norman,” because in the episode “The Bottle Deposit, Part 2,” (season 7, ep. 2) the farmer's daughter shouts, “Goodbye, Norman!” This was actually the actress's mistake — she mistook “Newman” for “Norman” in the script.
