Mirko, act II

This morning, I saw Mirko Langbehn again and said to him, "You've got a very pretty wife." He smiled and said, "Thanks."

I also asked him how he spells his name and he said, "with a k." He also added that others often spell it with a c (which is, apparently, the more common spelling in Germany) and that he has now resigned himself to seeing it either way.

OK, the postings I made during my stay in Friedrichsdorf are now up. I've backdated them so that you won't get a bunch of pne entries on your friends pages at once -- head over to my journal to read them.

Ironic question of the day

Courtesy of this week's NTK newsletter: good question.

Pi Day

I almost forgot -- it's Pi Day today!

Since the Great Unwashed on the other side of the atlantic, in their infinite wisdom, write dates in the order month/day, today is 3/14, which looks enough like 3.14. (And 22 July, or 22.7., is "Pi Approximation Day" in Europe, after the fraction 22/7.)

(Thanks to marikochan for the reminder.)
