I once woke in another life;             waking up looking around
as if out of a coma;
in a haze but lucid &              a     -   wake;
'u okay, doc?                    the publican said,
yeh, yeh, I say
&                 started out to the street;
to get             a breath of ***** air;
looking            around the                            street the cars   were driverless & really fast;
I had to cross at the          green    light or          get     so        hit I walked to a liquor store                             &looked at the kid behind the counter;
I got whisky & Shnapps
& went home to 3DTV th                        at u could walk     into & interact w/; tangible holograms     ||     .       |
it was the News;         the newswoman was            reading an important thing or other but I was shocked (r) \ that I          could feel her **** & she just kept reading the news like  I wasn't there;
****;
I thin         k   I really    woke     up            n when I
her cherry red mechanical lips            said     ******            difference had been outlawed & all     human beings were now        equal & no one could be referred to as man & woman but simply 'human'
           or **** sapiens,        but that was getting
heated into a kind of             separatist thing in a         schism over what is human; the faceless bureaucrat           society                   \  decide    d( ed to solve                     the problem
       w/ so              computer algorithm   s & things got      
             worse;     a lot worse;           gender               disappeared             completely;
everyone                      seemed fine w/ it
           but I was an angry(              )drunk w/ a rare (a       )  & somewhat random ***** & wanted              to get it wet by dipp          ing it into an available s  
            nooch; but to my horror             the Headlines were        all announcing    that *** &           sexuality                 were obsolete; punishable by long
   prison     sentences    ;
freaked me                   out but it turns ou         t I was a geneticist, l ike now we           have programmers,            in this weird                 future-alt-world every            one was a                              geneticist;      makes sense, right.
so I     went        home                    &     was   made     was      planning     to plan     planned to build an illegal woman,  seriously;
I've been on the run since
One of Archimedes’ many significant contributions to mathematics was his approximation of the value of pi.  He was the first mathematician to establish a theoretical calculation for pi instead of an estimation.  By inscribing and circumscribing polygons on a circle, he was able to constrain the value of pi between 3+10/71 and 3+1/7.

Rather than trying to measure the polygons individually, he used one of Euclid’s theorems to develop a faster numerical procedure.  This process enables one to get a result as accurate as desired.  It is a unique idea because he eliminated the geometrical aspect of it and turned it into an arithmetic procedure.  Throughout Archimedes proof for this process, he makes references to several square roots.  He does not say where he got the approximations.  This premature ability to calculate irrational square roots is remarkable.
