Decode The Mnemonic

PuzzleHey folks my last puzzle seemed to be not all that difficult for you greats, so this one is a little more interesting (read a little difficult)...



Decode The Mnemonic:

Now I - Even I, would celebrate
In rhymes unapt the great
Immortal syracusan rivaled never more
Who in his wondrous lore
Passed on before,
Left men his guidance
How to circles mensurate.

To give you a hint all I would like to say is "Read the Mnemonic again" and if I had to classify this post then I would do it as "recreational mathematics", So folks, come on, just do it.

In case you’re thinking that why don't I mention the source, I would like to
mention that even the answers are there.
P.S: It took me 11 minutes to decode, so take your time.
P.P.S: In case any one of you wants to post his or her own puzzle, trivia or
question, you are more than welcome.

Yes, The Indian President said It

An Indian teenager from one of the country's most backward states appears to have fooled governments, the media and even the president into believing he had topped the world in a NASA science exam. This is what you all know, but then read this...

When questioned about the incident, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh replied, "Yes, we were fooled to think that a boy from a backward state could have topped the exam. But you Americans were fooled to think that one could be President."

Fashion in Sports

Fashion Glamour and Sports (Yes, Sports) have always been inseparable, Maria Sharapova, Anna Kournikova and David Beckham are just a few example of the above statement.
Be it the nail paints of Beckham, shoes of Zidane(right, even a simple man like zidane), ferrari jackets, tees of serena and the list just goes on...
I would like each on of you to give one example of fashion trend or just any other trend inculcated from your favorite sport or any other trend that you would like to mention.

Do Anti-Virus Companies make Viruses?

Hey it may seem shocking to you, that, why on earth would Anti-Virus Companies be making virus, but dear it may be true. See one of the most important things in the business of anti-virus software is trust rating, and they are enhanced by
1) Being the first one to know of the trouble.
2) First providing the solution.
3) Providing the best solution.
And that’s what precisely they can do if they make the virus and distribute it, coz they will know the root cause of the problem before anyone else do. It may be controversial, but then.......

Your Body & Name as Advertisement Space

Sorry for not posting yesterday, a little busy these days, well anyways today I would like to bring "Your Body & Name as Advertisement Space" in the focus.
There have been quite a number of offers on ebay and otherwise for people willing to put a brand name on their forehead for say five years for an amount of money or keep their babies names as a brand name (there was a offer for Pepsi) for a period of time.

There has been a lot of hue and cry over it, especially the name of the babies. Under Law it is absolutely legal (both: forehead and names).

My point is that why the hell are we poking our nose in between, especially for the forehead case. History is evidence to the fact that people have always opposed "quick rich" tricks, mainly because they are jealous.

I agree that keeping name of their babies is kinna wrong, cause the child may undergo emotional trauma from peer group for no fault of his/her. There should be a law, like you can't use the body space or the name till the child is a minor and also without his consent even if he is a major.

But I don't see what’s wrong if some adults are willing to rent their foreheads, if its helps them to earn some money, which might be used for education or healthcare etc, then what’s our problem in it. It’s their forehead after all. So, What do u think?
