He Will Not Divide US Flag - Captured


Shia Labeouf created a flag in opposition the Trump Victory.  It is a simple flag that has a white background and "He Will Not Divide US" written upon it on black.  It was supposed to fly for the entire duration of the Trump presidency and was flown at a secret location.  But persons were able to figure out where it was by triangulating jet contrails and stars at night.

The flag-nappers were able to capture Labeouf's flag, and replace it with a Pepe shirt and Make America Great Again hat.

Happy Pi Day 2017!


Happy Pi Day 2017!  For this day we have two Pi Flags that read a 3.14; one is from the NATO number system the other is from the International Maritime number system. 

By queer coincidence NATO and International Maritime flags use a red, crossed flag for the number: four.  This fateful convergence of math with vexillology allows both Pi flags to be centered on a quartered pie.  For NATO the central element of the number four is sliced at 45 degrees, but for International Maritime the pie is cut at 90 degrees.  

Fun NATO Pi Flag - The 3.14 NATO Flag

NATO Pi Flag - Combined 3.14 Flag

Happy Pi Day!  Once again this magical mathematical ratio of the circle has enchanted students and teachers for decades now.  In honor of this logically illogical holiday we have the NATO Pi Flag.  It is a combination of the official NATO flags for the #3, #1, and #4.

The larger component of the blue, red, blue horizontal tri-bar is the largest, as it represents the whole number three.  Within this flag is a diamond, or rhombus that is the flag for number one, which is like the flag of Spain which is another horizontal tri-bar of red, yellow, red.  Finally in the center is a white X on a red disc that represents the number four.

Like the official NATO flag, the Fun NATO Pi Flag has four compass points, a cicular central point, and navy blue.

Coincidentally the International Maritime Flag for Pi has a red disc with a central quatercrossed design.  Both the Fun International Maritime Pi Flag and the Fun NATO Pi flag have 'four' sliced pizza's in the center, at different angles.
