Hello, Fluffsters!
So, I found out something a couple of days ago. Apparently, there’s a recently discovered type of Catfish. And it’s been named after the Star Wars character Greedo, because of similarities of appearances.
Of course, now I’m wondering… What if this is all some sort of plot with Star Wars to make science more interesting? So, suppose that scientists actually found this type of catfish decades ago, and George Lucas based Greedo on the fish. And then the scientists are only now revealing the existence of the fish, so that people are a) more interested in the discovery because it looks like a Star Wars character, and 2) make it less likely anybody would discover the conspiracy?
I blame the rainbows. They’re devious like that. But I’m onto your tricks! Your sith mind tricks won’t work on me, rainbows!
Let me get this straight… rainbows are sith now?
Well, do you have proof that they aren’t?
Anyways, Fluffsters, have a good day. Don’t eaten by a catfish, a space alien, or a rainbow, ok?

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So. I heard about something yesterday. A thing called “yarn bombing.” It’s where people apparently knit things and, well, just visit the wikipedia page to learn more about it.
Well, let me highlight a small portion of a quote they highlighted:
Dancing is ludicrous to Drax. I don’t think he understands it. If Drax owned a town, if he was a mayor, the first law would be no dancing. But yeah, so at the end of the movie, little baby Groot didn’t want to get caught dancing, because he would kill him.
So, did you catch that?
DRAX WOULD HAVE KILLED GROOT IF HE’D CAUGHT GROOT DANCING.
What. The. Heck.
“Heyo, little guy! I understand that you’re no more than a match, and you saved me (multiple times), but YOU’RE DANCING NOW DIE!”? SERIOUSLY?!

Hiya, Fluffsters!
So, as some of you may be aware, Disney released a new, live action version of Cinderella this past weekend.
In honor of that, the people who do Honest Trailers released an honest trailer for the old version of Cinderella. It’s rather amusing, and a bit cleaner than some of their other ones. (Not a G-rating, but still very mild.)

Greetings, readers!
Today is a very special day. It is the most ePIc Pi Day of your life, in all probability– 3/14/15, which, of course, maps to 3.1415…, or the first five digits of Pi.
Pi is also approximated by 22/7. Thus, today’s goal is to provide you with a list of 22 Pi or Pie related things or links, divided into seven categories. Enjoy.
22/7 Pi
Crust Recipes (section 1):
Disclaimer: I have not tried all of these. I am borrowing the Webmaster’s bookmarks for some of them. However, since I have been living in the land of the Internet recently, I have not had the ingredients to check all of these.
1) Butter Crust Pie Recipe. This is a fairly basic one, and does not call for too many ingredients.
Oooh, yes. That’s a good one! I’ve had a lot of success with that recipe.
Glad to hear it.
2) Oreo Crust Recipe. My one contention with this recipe is that it does not indicate whether you are supposed to keep the cream-filling in with the cookies or just use the outside part. If you do figure it out, let me know.
3) Coconut Oil Recipe. Coconuts are spheres. Coconut oil comes from coconuts. Pi is used to calculate mathematical properties of spherical things. Therefore, a circular pie crust made from spherical oil produces must be more celebratory of pi.
Pie Recipes (section 2):
4) “Impossible Coconut Pie“. Again, the logic about using ingredients from spherical objects can be applied here, for why coconut is one of the superior ways to go.
5) Pie Crust Bowls. This may not typically qualify as a “pie”. But it is something that can be done with a pie crust. And this enables you to make miniature ice-cream pies. Who can say “no” to that?
6) Pie Crust Cookies. This is a very easy one. Take your leftover pie crust, slather it in butter, cinnamon, and sugar, and bake in the oven at about 375 until the cookies turn a light golden brown.
Pie Songs (section 3):
7) “I like Pie, I Like Cake”, a cute song.
Oooh, yes! That’s a fun Charleston song.
8) “The Pi Song”. This is a rather ridiculous song.
9) The “Pi Waltz”. Somebody converted some of the digits of pi to base 12, in order to map them to a scale. (I am unsure of how they did this.) The final result was a lovely waltz. It is not necessarily accurate mathematically, but it is still a cool concept.
Previous Fluff Posts (Section 4):
Alas, there are only two previous Pi-day posts. But here they are.
10) The First Pi-Day Post. I am still a bit surprised that the Webmaster appreciates Pi Day.
11) The second one was boring. However, it is still a pi-day Fluff Post, so I will take it.
12) The Webmaster’s First Pie. This is not a pi-day post, but it is “pie”, and therefore it is an acceptable “fluff” for this post.

Hiya, Fluffsters!
Do you have weekend plans yet?
Because if not, there’s a fun opportunity that’s making the rounds on Facebook. There’s a Bed and Breakfast in Maine that’s up for sale in a different way from most businesses. The current owner is holding a competition– write a 200 word essay.
The entry fee is $150 or something like that. So, a bit more than I want to spend for a company I don’t actually want to own.
