Archimedes cult seems cooler than the domino gang. I would like to know how they established the rule against pissing toward the sun.

These facts overshadow the fascination of square root of two.

Pythagoreans ...

I see that caught your eye. It would seem they wanted to piss off the sun, not on it.

Night people? Fear of extinguishing the light? Bound to be a paper by someone, somewhere.

Pythagorean diet was the name for vegetarianism prior to the nineteenth century

Back to primes...

A Pythagorean prime is a prime number of the form 4n + 1.

Pythagorean primes are exactly the prime numbers that are the sum of two squares. (not 2)

An irrational number, quite different than an irrational person.
