"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Silly holidays are the best holidays. Even though I was finished with Star Wars after the original trilogy, I do appreciate May the Fourth, and International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
The one that still confuses me is every April 20, when all the stoners commemorate Adolph Hitler's birthday. I don't get that one at all.
Interesting difference: Nth Americans (incl Canada?) call something a pie if it has filling on top of pastry (pizza too).
Look up image of traditional Brit steak and kidney pie, which often only has pastry baked on top of a dish of stew filling. No pastry base. But it's a pie. (And pizza is not)
We call those "Pot Pies" bruce. I love me a good chicken pot pie. Pi is my second favorite unknowable mathematical concept. Infinity being my favorite.
Happy Pi Day to all

Curious.
Oh, and I think we might call those baked fruit pastries 'tarts'! :-)

Fascinating. I've heard of pot pies.
DeleteI think I've broken Google AI. It just told me Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) was Irish.
