#HappyBirthday to the #March14 #BirthdayCohort (with #ChrisKlein @iamChrisKlein & #SimoneBiles @Simone_Biles & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #PiDay | @HolidaysCalendr @Mometrix @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains #Pi Day in a report accessed through 'the bold hyperlink(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “π (the usual approximation of the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter ... 22/7, or 3.14 (followed an neverending string of digits that seem random))” is built on ancient words that mean "Little Mouth" (Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler's abbreviation of the Greek for "|Periphery" (patterning after English mathematician William Oughtred's abbreviation of the Greek for "|Circumference") ... if not the Printer's term for "Mixed Type").
It 'thrills me' a little that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Pisces ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: gymnast Simone Biles, Albert Einstein, basketball-player Stephen Curry, Michael Caine, Quincy Jones, Billy Crystal, meme-star ("I'm not saying it's aliens, but ... IT'S ALIENS") Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, Michael Martin Murphey (who sings "What's Forever For?"), Chris Klein (Oz in the AMERICAN PIE-movies)
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's in Violet
