Today is Pi Day – thanks to the American notation of 3/14 for today’s date. :) Also it’s Albert Einstein‘s birthday, he would be 129 years old today.

All your days are belong to us!

I Own Number146097MillionNumbers.com

The number of days in one 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar. Fittingy, since my family name Grögel apparently comes from these pope names (though probably not specifically from this Gregory).

Since the number belongs to me now, I’ll ask demand license payments from everyone who manufactures or uses calendars! In the next days, I’ll work out exact price lists, set up ways of payment, and – expecting many to refuse payment – hire multitudes of lawyers to write expensive warning letters, especially those who have gathered experience in the field of various mass warning letters. *

Spring!

March 1 – meteorological beginning of spring…

The birds chirp and tweet…
Trees and flowers start to sprout…
A gentle breeze is in the air…

Then I woke up.

The storm blows, thunder and lightning, sleet patterig against the windows, and after it calmed down a little, it’s “only” snowing.

I should go back to bed and continue to dream.

Quote of the Day (10)


Charles Darwin “I can indeed hardly see how anyone ought to wish Christianity to be true; for if so the plain language of the text seems to show that the men who do not believe, and this would include my Father, Brother, and almost all my best friends, will be everlastingly punished. And this is a damnable doctrine.”

Charles Darwin was born this day 199 years ago.
