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.

Pi For Everyone!
According to the Googol Learning Ezine, "The exact moment to yell out your favorite irrational number is March 14 at 1:59:26 p.m (3.1415926)."

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
) 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.

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.

I never thought of today as Pi day. I was not able to experience any of these fun activities like bringing pie to class when I was in school. Some people might think I was hidding under a rock or something....
Thanks for the reminder of what today is...it will help me remember when I constantly forget the day's date today...
