Dear members and constituents.
Yesterday I received two e-mails in short proximity of each other suggesting ideas for my "donut letter". These two e-mails had very little else in common, other than the fact that they both had fascinating facts. This seemed a rather odd coincidence. I don't usually get e-mails suggesting topics for the donut announcement, let alone two in a ten minute span. I therefore have interpreted this as a sign that I should communicate this information to the larger group (in conjunction with letting you know that donuts have arrived).

This Sunday in the wee hours of the morning (for countries that present their dates in date/month/year order), time and date will be nice and neatly lined up. So, what’s special about early Sunday morning? Well, at 2:03 AM, and a few seconds in the morning (ugh, hopefully none of us will be up to see that), the time will be 02:03.04 05/06/07.

This was a new one for me, despite having presided over the Friday Donut Club for nearly three years. The name of the shape of the surface of a donut is a... I know, you're thinking this has got to be a term you use every day... come on, you can do it... OK, it's called a Torus. To read everything there is to know about Tori (the plural for Torus) you can go to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus . This goes to show there is a name for nearly anything.
