Like, for example, the word "trivia"--comes from ancient Rome when, whenever three or more roads met, signposts would be put up with information as to where each one went . . . Tri-Via . . . three roads . . . little bits of information . . . I enjoy all these little, interesting trivia things, too.

For this date, however, "forth" works as a homonym for a word with an entirely different meaning, denoting direction, not sequence. (And, didn't that all sound very erudite and educated and smart and all that??)

I think this definitley qualifies! I do think mamacate is right - March first is a also a complete sentence - actually every day in the month could be considered a complete sentence - imagine walking down a line of soldiers saying You - march first, march second, march third, etc. Love the Pi Shawl! It is really looking lovely. I love minutiae – little known and less cared about facts are what I call them. I think this definitley qualifies!
