Weekend Wrap-up Nov. 23rd.
Some theme day celebrations make sense. Pi day (3/14) and Star Wars Day (May the fourth) to name a couple, but when I wokoe up to discover it was Fibonacci Day, it took me a few seconds to–
You Googled it.
Ya. I googled it. I knew what the Fibonacci sequence was: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… (or for the math buffs: xn= xn-1 + xn-2) so when I saw 11/23 I said , “Ahhh, November 23rd.”
Worked out by the fourth most famous Leonardo, the others being DiCaprio, Davinci, and that turtle, Fibonacci came up with the sequence because everyone else was working on Pi, and being a rebel, he struck out to make a name for himself.
Little did he know that he would have a day named after him as well as a flavor of ice cream.
True story.
