A peer review

I've reviewed Geo's post at
 http://trainrideoftheenigmas.blogspot.com/2015/03/pi-day.html

One of the conditions of peer-reviewing is to recommend that the article either be:
  • to unconditionally accept the manuscript or the proposal,
  • to accept it in the event that its authors improve it in certain ways,
  • to reject it, but encourage revision and invite resubmission,
  • to reject it outright.
I'm recommending that Geos' article be accepted, if, and it's a big if, he can furnish photo's of the mentioned ride with the three worthy's....a Putin-like photo of Kepler would be best....shirt off, etc.

To celebrate, here's a pi:

  1. Excellent solution to the transcendent surd. The cosmos is expanded by it. But I hope you understand this culinary construct leaves us face to face with an even greater mystery. We must now endeavor as a species to solve the whole enchilada.

  2. Ah wordplay. Both Geo. and Mike appear to be masters at it. Or, perhaps, master baiters.

  5. Favorite pi joke:

    Wife of pi to the marriage counselor: 'He's irrational and he just keeps going on and on'

  6. That looks like good pi. I think it would look even better with a big chicken-sized wedge cut out of it
