Did William Wallace believe nobility was the result of birthright? Did the old English nobility of office make way for the Norman nobility of FAITH and landed wealth? Do you truly claim nobility and worthiness by your genes?

Well if you want to be pedantic then yes. Maternally I am a Stewart of Clan Stewart of Appin, the Royal Stewarts. My maternal grandmother and great grandmother both had the same name even married, Stuart Stewart. This was because of the massacre of all males of the Stewarts of Appin following the Jacobite revolution in 1745, the female line took on the role of keeping the clan name alive. My sister, brother and I all still retain the name Stewart in our names too. So yes hunny...u scored blue blood

Yes? Well we have plenty of that racism here in America too.

Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter.

Certainly not. They were all nutters on my mums side and include at least 2 murderers that I am aware of. Then again the pretender to the throne himself was a nutter too, liked his opium and young boys from what I gather. I sincerely hope my paternal Swedish ancestry has the upper hand in my gene pool. There are real heroes in that line.

So here is a freak idea..... take 11/7.. and get 1.5714285, and then double it. Now the constant to pi... has lost it's transcendental flavor.

I dont get you sorry? 11/7 = 1.5714285714285714285714285714286. Again i state i am no mathematician, but even I can see clear patterns emerging. You dont get that with Pi. 3.142857142857....ad infinitum? A pattern or constant emerges, again not at all like Pi. So for the idiot that I am please, please explain your point.

run 22/7 and 11/7 ... and find the 571428 .. over and over and over again .........

Check your work...and then try 355/113 for the ad infin number...

There are a couple problems in math, the 'double a cube' and 'circle squared' problems since the beginning of time, that cannot be answered because of pi.... but a method can be found..... that was the point!

Just in case there were any mathematicians who like to finish the unaswered questions.

22/7 is only an approximation of pi, and is a rational number, losing the 'irrational charm' of pi.

so as even as pi is simply a ratio, then the requisite of how tight is is kept is none existent.

Meaning: I could say 22/7 and most of the world knows what that is, just like to write 3.14... each would know.....

but how many here knew 355/113 was the leveling point.......?

now go look at phi (1.618) and see the similar issue.....

It's a ratio... not a constant, unless the issue is, it's a' constant ratio' found in existence.... almost like the elements .... see em, use em, describe em..... but who knows why, they are..?
