I don't know why I've never come across this before, but I just found out that Paul Erdos's name for God was "the Supreme Fascist"!
Erdos was one of the most, if not *the* most, prolific mathematicians of the 20th century.

The question is, why did he accept a fascist as his god? Intelligence comes in many forms. There is some sort of cognitive ability missing in the minds of myth believers.

Well, I doubt that he actually believed in any God.

Well, that's good because plenty of real fascists, past and present, truly believe in a supreme fascist god.

Today isn't just Pi Day, it's also the birthday of Albert Einstein!

Pienstein?

We should have an "e" day as well. "Euler’s Number" (approx. 2.71828) was discovered by Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli in 1683 while studying a compound interest problem. It is named "Euler’s Number" after Leonhard Euler, who later popularized its use. It defines continuous growth processes, where the rate of change is proportional to the current value, and boy did us electrical engineers become intimately familiar with it.
