Let's call it the 'vegemite' effect.... I guess being 'down-under' on the other side of the date-line also helps!!

Cheers, BBB

Does that make Baz the "Jolly Swagman" who sat beside the bilabong
Ron

@BBB: Good job on your 10 MM, Vegemite guy! Are you jolly? We had to learn the Banjo Paterson version of the nearly-national-anthem, so my swagman was not so jolly ... though your favorite stout might dictate otherwise.

Hey BAZ, congrats on the 10 mil!

[Kona2]

Woohoo and hooyah! Congratulations, Baz, on achieving TEN million lifetime meters! We wish you many, MANY more! Enjoy the 10 MM Concept2 prize!

Woot, Woot, Woot! BBB, Way to row!

And welcome to the team, Dan and Jeff - so glad you picked us!

[quote="Kona2"] Yep, another episode of bunny trails of the mind....

March 14th is not only the 14th day of March Madness Challenge, it's 3.14, and is Pi Day! Pi, the math symbol you love to draw, is the number expressing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It begins with 3.14 and goes on into infinity. So, whether you celebrate pi Day with a slice of your favorite pie or pizza pie, or you include the numbers 314 in your row today (as Tony has done in the past), celebrate ! It's the best reason to have pie ever!

For you math geeks out there and anyone else who cares, my daughter and fellow Loonie (Sinead) came in second in her class for their Pi contest. She remembered 28 digits of Pi. Her friend who won remembered 70.
