Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lol.
I once saw a movie that was named Le Thé au harem d'Archimède.
I'm accepting this as canon.
I dont think it's pronounced the way this comic implies it is.
I think it's fr·ee·ay
I bet there's some kind of crazy phenomenon that happens to the bases when you do that. And there's definitely an ^(pi * i) in there.
there's always the rather trippy bailey-borwein-plouffe formula that allows you to compute any digit of pi without computing preceding decimals... but it only works in base 16.
Conjecture: There is a procedure for finding a place-value representation of any positive real number such that the choice of base, and perhaps a secondary representation, yields an infinite number of fours.
