Groan.... thanks for the reminder. Every year my students want me to bring them pies. (I teach math). By the way, it's not spelled "pie" day it's "pi" day.
But...why doesn't Google change its logo for Pi-e Day? I mean, they change it for all the other holidays, it is a rather geeky joke, they have a rather geeky reputation, and, the two o's just scream to be turned into pie. Doncha think?:rolleyes:
In my world it's PIE....http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/b...01C56089-1.jpg

Yum....pie!
Mmmmm...I wish it was in my world too. Let's see, Pi pays my salary and pie makes my hips spread. Too bad it's not the other way around.Quote:

When I was in high school, one of our regular opponents in sports was the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. We thought they were all geeks, but we really just wanted to be as smart as they were.
In basketball, whenever a NCSSM (or S&M, as we called it :rolleyes:) player shot a free-throw, the whole crowd from my school would yell out, "3.14159! Who's the NERD on the line!" Oh, and we'd all dress up in lab coats and wear geeky glasses with tape on the nosepiece.
Kids can be so mean.
Raleighdon, my DH is famous for his pies. he often carves a pi sign on the top! :D
DD loves her math teacher. She spent several days memorizing pi to about 90 digits, and is bringing homemade pecan pie to class. I think she's a bit of a geek in training, but that's ok by me. ;)
Rumor has it he'll be making some this weekend! :cool:Quote:

Thanks for the reminder of what today is...it will help me remember when I constantly forget the day's date today...

I never even heard of Pi day, and I was an engineering major at an ivy league school (talk about nerdy)... Learn something new every day.

Rats... I missed 1:59...
Our math classes celebrated Pi day today. I enjoyed my slice of cherry pie! One class elected to have pizza pies (they did not share, boo hiss).
Yeah... well it didn't last long! Couple of years in, I decided to give my all to the piano, so I quit school and then transferred to a conservatory of music. ;)Quote:
